Arthur Fils will rise to a career-high ranking of No 11.

Jessica Pegula defeated Iga Swiatek 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 to advance to the final.

“Miami was nice, I was in the semis, but I lost so much energy in this tournament. I was screaming ‘Come on’, ‘Vamos’ after every point. Now here it’s completely different. And I think also when you do it, you start to do it a couple of times, the tournaments, those big runs, then you start to get a bit used to [it], and you don’t need anymore to go crazy, to pump yourself. I think I’m already pumped enough, especially with my team also. They are very pumped, so I don’t need to go that crazy anymore.”
