This is not the same Lloyd Harris that played Shapo yesterday. Karatsev is playing well, but he really hasn't had to do all that much.

Karatsev rolls Harris 6-3 6-2 to win the Dubai title. With none of the big 3 playing Miami, how good are Karatsev's chances to win that event?

Pretty good. Karasev's win actually puts him in 5th place in the race to Turin! Is he a top 10 player? We'll see in the next few months.

Later today, Leylah plays the pusher from Spain who beat Genie in the final last week in Guadalajara.

Me after Australian Open: Well that's the last I'll ever hear about Karatsev
Me today: well maybe not

Flames vs. Leafs on the big screen, Leylah vs. Sorribes Tormo on the laptop. Go Flames, Go Leylah!!

Good start from Leylah, saved a couple of break points and already dictating play from the back of the court.

Edit: Leylah's serve abandons her with two double faults and the Spaniard breaks to lead 3-2

Edit #2: Leylah breaks right back

Edit #3: Three consecutive breaks of serve

Excellent game for Leylah to break serve and take the opening set 7-5

Leylah is broken (poor game) and Sorribes Tormo is serving at 3-2 in set 2.

Edit: Leylah breaks right back. Love the resolve in this kid.

Leylah broken again (double fault on break point), but then plays a terrific game to break right back.

From love-40 down, Leylah plays five tremendous point in a row to hold serve. As the commentator reminds us, she's only 18 years old.

That leftie two-handed backhand player rocking the yellow Babolat racquet and sleeveless shirt is pretty good, no?

Leylah will have a new career high ranking on Monday (into the top 70 if she wins on Sunday).

Match point showcasing all the talent (scrambling ability, great footwork, and a super volley to put it away).

This Acapulco final is all over the place - Tsitsipas was up 4-1 and looked like he would be going up 5-1 and 15 minutes later Zverev is serving for the opening set at 5-4.

Edit: Zverev takes the opening set 6-4. What a collapse by Greek Yogurt.
