On March 26, 2022, Beijing time, WTA Miami once again broke out three big cold goals, the second round of the women's singles, the 4th seed Sakari, the 10th seed Ostapenko, and the 20th seed Mertens were all out. The 16-year-old Czech teenager Linda Fluvertova was pleasantly surprised to have beaten Mertens 2-1.
The women's singles field continued to be unpopular, with only 3 seeded players left in the top half. In the second half of the zone, No. 4 seed Sakkari was reversed by Brazil's Maya 6-4, 1-6, 2-6, and was eliminated in the first match, becoming the number one underdog of the matchday. Sakkari previously finished runner-up in women's singles at Indian Wells, setting a new career high in the world rankings, but when he came to Miami, he encountered a round trip, which was really helpless.
The 10th seed, Grand Slam champion Ostapenko, was also out, losing two sets in a row, 3-6, 6-7 to Homegrown Rodgers. From Indian Wells to Miami, Rogers beat Ostapenko twice in a row and was in hot form. Next, Rodgers' opponent is No. 21 seed Kudmetova.
The third big underdog was made by 16-year-old Linda Fluvertova, and Linda Fluvertova from the Czech Republic fought hard in three sets, 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 to pick out the 20th seed Mertens, and the first time she participated in the main stage of the WTA 1000 level competition, she broke into the round of 32, which was a surprise. Don't forget, Mertens is an experienced player, which shows that Linda Fluvertova really has a lot of potential.
In addition, the 26th seed Keys lost to Kalinina 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, and Brungel eliminated the 29th seed Samsova 6-4, 6-0, which is also a small disadvantage. In comparison, the No. 5 seed Bardoza, the 28th seed Kvitova, the 16th seed Pegula, and the 17th seed Lebakina performed relatively steadily, all of which successfully advanced to the round of 32.
On the Chinese side, Zhang Shuai swept the 24th seed Costia with two 6-1 wins, beating his opponent for the first time in his career. Zhang Shuai did not wait for Wang Qiang, because the latter lost to the 14th seed Gao Fu 5-7, 4-6, and Zhang Shuai and Gao Fu ushered in the first career duel.
Finally, Svatek from Poland rushed to the second place in the world after winning the championship in the last stop, and with the retirement of Barty, Swatek became the world number one in women's singles. In the second round of Miami, Swartec swept Grubic 6-2, 6-0 to win 12 consecutive wins, she is undoubtedly the biggest winner, and the fiery Swatak is expected to attack the championship back-to-back!
