Azarenka Overpowers Boulter to Reach Miami Open Quarter-finals

British number one, Katie Boulter, faced a tough defeat in the Miami Open as she was outclassed by the experienced Victoria Azarenka in straight sets. Boulter’s impressive run in the tournament came to an end after a challenging battle with Azarenka.

Azarenka, a former world number one, showcased her skill and dominance as she secured a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Boulter. Despite a valiant effort from the British player, Azarenka’s consistency and experience proved too much to handle.

After breaking new ground by defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia in the previous round, Boulter could not maintain the momentum against Azarenka. The match proved to be a test of grit for Boulter, who ultimately fell short against the Belarusian veteran.

With this win, Azarenka advances to the quarter-finals where she will face Yulia Putintseva. Azarenka’s performance highlighted her reputation as a formidable force in the tennis world, setting up an exciting match in the next round.

Alexandrova’s victory over Swiatek sets up a compelling match against American Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals. Pegula secured her spot by defeating Emma Navarro, adding more anticipation to the upcoming matches.

Furthermore, Caroline Garcia’s impressive performance against Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina’s win over Madison Keys showcased the fierce competition in the Miami Open. With each match bringing new surprises, the tournament continues to captivate tennis fans worldwide.
