Rybakina roars back to end Azarenka’s Miami dream
MIAMI: World number four Elena Rybakina was pushed to the limit by veteran Victoria Azarenka before reaching the WTA Open Miami final with a 6-4, 0-6, 7-6 (7/2) win on Thursday. Rybakina will meet the winner of Thursday’s other semi between American Danielle Collins and Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova. The 24-year-old is returning to the Miami final for the second straight year after losing to Czech Petra Kvitova in 2023. Her form — and the absence of any of the world’s top three — suggests she will be the strong favorite to win face her in Saturday’s title showdown. So far
