Command Analysis
Cori Gauff
USACurrent form
Gauff managed to make it to the 1/8 finals at the previous tournament in Indian Wells with not the best game. In Miami, the American tennis player started with a crushing victory over Kenin (6-0, 6-0). In that meeting, Corey showed her advantage from the first games, seized the initiative, and Sofia, as they say, swam. There is a game ahead with Maria Sakkari, who was defeated 7-6, 6-2 in Indian Wells a week ago.
Professional qualities
Corey is notable for his ability to cover the entire court, moves well, and boldly attacks at the first opportunity. Her weak link in the game is the second serve, where you can see a lot of double faults.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the season, Gauff has won 12 out of 16 matches in the round. Corey hasn't won more than two straight sets matches in the last three tournaments. In the world ranking, she is on the third line.

Maria Sakkari
GreeceCurrent form
Sakkari was unable to prove herself to the fullest in Indian Wells, as Gauff got in her way in the third round. The start in Miami was not easy for Maria, as she managed to break Bronzetti's resistance only in three sets (6-3, 5-7, 6-4). As before, the Greek tennis player cannot reach her decent level of play, and you can see a lot of mistakes in her actions in the simplest situations.
Professional qualities
Maria is always in great physical shape, ready for protracted battles. However, there are a lot of questions about the game now, it is not possible to maintain a high tempo during the exchange of blows due to frequent mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Sakkari played 16 matches in the tour, in which she scored only six victories. The statistics are not the most impressive, it is not surprising that at the moment the former third racket of the world is only 51st in the world ranking.
