After her match on Tuesday, Coco Gauff, the No. 4 player in the world with two Grand Slams and 11 titles already on her resume, said she felt like a victim of “imposter syndrome.” “I think it just shows, like my mind, and it's just all about mentality out there at the end of the day,’’ she said. “And I think I have to believe that I belong where I am. I think sometimes I can get imposter syndrome.

Jannik Sinner was admittedly in a rush during his post-match press conference because he wanted to watch his beloved Italy soccer team play Northern Ireland in a must-win World Cup qualifier.  That could partially explain why Sinner, the No. 2 player in the world, made quick work of Frances Tiafoe, the last American in the men’s draw, 6-2, 6-1 in a 71-minute lopsided quarterfinal on a sunny Thursday afternoon at the Miami Open.

College Night at the Miami Open promises a full day of high-energy entertainment as students are invited to take over the tournament grounds. The day, designed with students in mind, features drink specials, live music and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow fans while soaking up some sun and world class tennis.

If recreational tennis players believe the sport is difficult to master, try doing it from a wheelchair. Well, that’s what these special athletes are doing in the ITF Uniqlo Wheelchair Tennis Tour this week during the Miami Open, which is hosting the officially sanctioned event for the first time.

Throughout the tournament, youth clinics, hospital visits, inclusive tennis programming and local partnerships brought together players, partners and community organizations to expand access to the sport and inspire the next generation of players.

After his fourth-round win, Tommy Paul said his next opponent, Frenchman Arthur Fils is “electric,’’ and one of his favorite players to watch. The voltage was high coming off the forehands of both players, creating an electric atmosphere in a packed Hard Rock Stadium Tuesday night.

Sports are most popular when rivalries are involved, whether it be Yankees-Red Sox, Ali-Frazier or Borg-McEnroe. But in women’s tennis nothing can compare to Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova’s 15-year rivalry of 80 matches, most coming in the biggest tournaments. Now that Elena Rybakina is officially No. 2 in the world, she and No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka –- who will be on top for 76 consecutive weeks on Monday – have a budding rivalry that seems to have the potential of historic proportion.

Why Gauff? The 22-year-old American has owned Muchova but said Wednesday that whoever out-thinks the other at 30-30 or deuce points will win. Her defensive skills will pressure Muchova to make the perfect shot. Why Sabalenka? She is unquestionably the best hard-court player on the women’s Tour, having won 20 of her 23 titles on that surface.

Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Miami Open presented by Itaú is proud to host its first officially sanctioned wheelchair tennis tournament from Wednesday, March 25 through Friday, March 27 on Butch Buchholz Court, Court 5 and Court 1 with ADA seating available.
