Miami open masters

Miami Open Masters: Aryna Sabalenka captured her maiden Miami Open title after beating over America's Jessica Pegula in the final.

In a rematch of last year's US Open final, despite having her formidable serve broken three times in the opening set, Sabalenka, the world No. 1, calmly shook it off, achieved the critical break at 5-6 which catapulted her to a 7-5, 6-2 victory over fourth-ranked Pegula 1 hour and 28 minutes to win her first Miami Open Masters 1000.

It was a big victory for Sabalenka, who suffered narrow losses in her last two finals, at the Australian Open (to Madison Keys) and Indian Wells (to Mirra Andreeva).
