Defending champion Karolína Plíšková was already leading 6: 3 and 3: 1 in the quarterfinal duel with Elis Mertens and it looked like a quick progress, but the opponent turned the second set and had to decide the winner only in the third set. In it, however, Plíšková gave Mertens no chance and gave her a canary.
Markéta Vondroušová entered the match with Elina Svitolinová with an unfavorable balance of three lost duels and not a single victory. This time, however, she succeeded against the Ukrainian and in the second set, even like Plíšková Mertens, she even gave her a canary. She advanced to the semifinals in 80 minutes after sets of 6: 3 and 6: 0.

So far, the only mutual duel in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Miami was dominated by Plíšková, but Vondroušová will be excited by her great game from the quarterfinals, so we can expect a very attractive match.
