From Carole Bouchard on Twitter:
Long MTO for Boulter’s right foot.
With the camera angle, couldn’t see if it was blisters or something else.
Mertens then holds for 4-4.

Mertens takes the first set 6'4.
Mertens now serving at *3-1 in the 2nd set with a break in hand against Boulter.
I'm off to enjoy some sunshine in between the hailstorms!
:wave:
Mertens took it 6-4,6-1, however Katie certainly gave her a challenge in the 1st set. Hopefully the foot will be ok in due course.
Miami R3: Johanna Konta lost to Petra Kvitova 6-1 6-2.
Miami Doubles R1: Heather Watson and Alja Tomljanovic lost to Ekaterina Alexandrova and Yang Zhaoxuan 6-4 6-1.
Ash Barty wins the Miami Title 6-3, 4-0 ret'd by Bianca Andreescu.
The Canadian fell early in the 2nd set and had the physio on at 0-3.
Shame to lose that way but Barty had been quick off the blocks & dominated the 1st set.
:trophy:
World #1 keeps rolling on!
Pity for Andreescu which put paid to chance of real contest. However I think Ash Barty would have won anyway and the strong start certainly helped, well done!
Very sad for Bianca tbh but I do love Ash Barty. She is a phenomenal player and a lovely human being. I do love her style of play. No bish bash bosh and awful grunting from her! Bianca did very well to get to the final so kudos for that!
