It’s a familiar final line-up at the WTA 1000 in Miami as Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula already battled each other in championship matches in Cincinnati and at the US Open last year. Both have picked up their form so much in the United States over the last few weeks and will now clash for another trophy on American soil.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka blasted her way into the final of the Miami Open with a convincing 6-2 6-2 demolition of Italy’s Jasmine Paolini. Sabalenka needed just 71 minutes to wrap-up her win against the sixth seed and she will now face the winner of Thursday’s other semi-final between American Jessica Pegula and wildcard Alex Eala.
