Awesome. Of all the non-grand slam tournaments this is the one I would most like to attend.

Damn. No tennis today.

Weather permitting, Bianca will be in action on Stadium court on Wednesday.

Looks like Brayden Schnur is suffering some post New York Open blues as he goes down to Andrew Harris in China overnight. Tough three set loss as Harris wins 6-4 6-7 7-6.

Felix takes the first set over Lorenzi in a tie-breaker (7-1 was the tie-breaker score). Go Felix Go!

i watched until the rain delay, he was up 4-2 in the 3rd and serving.
I don't know how long the rain delay was but it stopped his momentum.

Overall a terrible trip to China, hope he comes home and regroups.
I'm not sure he's a clay court guy so he may slug it out in North American challengers for awhile.

Or he could continue in Asia, there are challengers almost every week there and they're all hard court, but I doubt it.

I don't see anything scheduled for him in the future.

and Felix has taken the first set 76 in Miami

[dash_pinched]

All right, Felix makes the main draw in Miami with a 7-6 6-2 win over Paulo Lorenzi of Italy. Well done Felix.

Felix taking care of old man Lorenzi.

Felix gets a pretty good spot in the main draw as he will face fellow qualifier Casper Ruud of Norway.

Mischa Zverev at one point was at 101-1 odds to win but he saved 8 match points and wins his match via retirement from his opponent.

It appears that the rain has returned to Miami which will definitely be delaying the start of Bianca's opening round match.

He's got a pretty win able second round match as well should he take care of his own business in round 1. I would suspect we will see all three Canadian men into the 3rd round at minimum!

[dash_pinched]

We are underway as the sun is shining in Miami on this Thursday morning. Felix should take the court at approximately 2:30 Eastern time and TSN2 should have the match.

on DAZN later

Wow, this is a huge break for the Canadian women. I wonder what led to their respective decisions not to take part.

I think Tennis Channel has exclusive rights for the WTA tour in the States. Not sure if there are streaming options available (i.e. of the legal variety).

Yeah, unfortunately it's like most other coverage - almost zero WTA broadcast.
