Tennis: Simona Halep will meet a former world No. 2 in Miami

The attraction of the WTA 1000 in Miami is called Simona Halep. Double Grand Slam winner and former world No. 1, the Romanian will return to competition for the first time since August 2022 in Miami. Suspended for doping, the Romanian saw her sanction reduced, allowing her to return to competition immediately. In the process, she received an invitation to compete in the WTA 1000 in Miami and will be in the spotlight as soon as she enters the competition.

By chance of the draw, she will find a player who has also experienced the heights of the women's circuit: the Spaniard Paula Badosa, former second player but now 80th in the ranking. The one who wins this match will face Aryna Sabalenka, world number 2, in the next round.

Four tricolors are automatically qualified for the final phases of the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells. Caroline Garcia, seeded No. 23 in the tournament, is exempt from the first round. She will face Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova or a player from qualifying in the second round. For her part, the Frenchwoman in form Diane Parry, who gleans her best career ranking this week (54th, Editor's note), will have to get rid of the Romanian Jaqueline Cristian, 82nd WTA, before (possibly) finding Beatriz Haddad Maia (head of series n°11) in the second round.

The task promises to be more difficult for Clara Burel, who will have to face the returning Caroline Wozniacki (33 years old, 129th WTA), quarter-finalist at Indian Wells and forced to give up due to foot pain against Iga Swiatek. Finally, the Blue in poor form, Varvara Gracheva, will try to get rid of a qualifier to face Linda Noskova (n°26) in the second round.
