Emptying the Miami Notebook

An ample arena, awful sightlines, Zizou Bergs, Acapulco at extinction, the WTA Finals chase, and more!

After a long journey home¹, I’m delighted to put an orange bow on the Miami Open with parting thoughts on the tournament, as well as a few other notes from recent happenings in the world of tennis.

The Miami Open is a fun tournament—in an undoubtedly unique and strange venue, for both better and worse—and it was great to be back there for the first time in four years, and for the first time for Bounces.
