I'm not 100% sure but I think it's because the streaming company DAZN bought the rights to the WTA tour so any non Grand Slam event for the WTA you have to watch there. I'm not sure why TSN or Sportsnet didn't buy the rights that I don't know. The ATP and WTA are two separate entities so they each negotiate their own contracts for sponsorship and TV rights.
The Miami women's singles draw is out and we could have a Bianca vs Kerber 3rd round rematch. As well she may have to play Osaka in the Quarters and Serena in the finals.
