Midway Through Miami

Ben and Tumaini have reunited for the Miami Open, a tournament which Tumaini is covering for the first time. We start the show with his impressions of the city and the event itself, including its passionate crowds and very strange center court.

We then shift to a few of the intriguing results and players here, including the stunning Arthur Fils rout of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Sebastian Korda beating Carlos Alcaraz.

We also discuss Iga Swiatek's concerns and possible crossroads with her team, as well as Naomi Osaka's state of mind.

Plus, we gush a bit about Aryna Sabalenka, as she increasingly deserves.
