Miami Open Tennis Tournament 2024 unfolds into its inaugural weekend

As the Miami Open Tennis Tournament 2024 unfolds into its inaugural weekend, a constellation of tennis luminaries graces the courts today, notably Naomi Osaka among them. The prior day witnessed the commencement of world No.2 Sabalenka’s quest in Miami, shadowed by the recent demise of her erstwhile companion Konstantin Koltsov within the metropolis, aged 42. Contesting against her confidante Paula Badosa, she emerged victorious with a 6-4, 6-3 scoreline, donned in somber attire. Astonishingly, numerous contests were adjourned post-noon yesterday due to inclement weather, affecting the British ex-world champion Andy Murray during his face-off with Argentine contender, the 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Their engagement was halted at an equilibrium of 3-3 in the initial set, alongside other matches throughout the afternoon. The adverse meteorological conditions precluded British athletes Cameron Norrie and Jack Draper from entering the fray entirely.
