Ons Jabeur vs. Mirra Andreeva Many are pulling for Jabeur to win a Grand Slam, but at the Australian Open there are other players on everyone’s watchlist, including 16-year-old Andreeva, who’s been shaking up the tennis world since her pro tour debut in 2022.

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla.—If anyone knows how to dig themselves out of a hole in the third set, it's Simona Halep. At the Miami Open on Thursday, the world No. 1 had to rely on her improved mental and physical toughness far earlier than anyone imagined against Oceane Dodin. Despite what
