Magda Linette upsets Coco Gauff at Miami Open

Coco Gauff faced a surprising defeat at the Miami Open, losing to unseeded Magda Linette with a score of 6-4, 6-4 in the round of 16. The third-seeded Gauff struggled significantly with her serve, committing 12 double faults and finishing with a first-serve percentage of just 51%. Gauff, who was previously undefeated against Linette, acknowledged her ongoing struggles and described the match as 'one of those days' where she felt off-court. Linette celebrated the victory as a major achievement, marking her second career WTA 1000 quarterfinal. Meanwhile, top-seed Aryna Sabalenka advanced smoothly in the tournament, and Jessica Pegula remains as one of the few American contenders after her win over Marta Kostyuk. On the men's side, only third seed Taylor Fritz remains for the U.S. after the exits of Frances Tiafoe and Reilly Opelka.
