In this round of 8, American and local Coco Gauff takes on Poland's Magda Linette on the tennis courts of the Miami tournament. Seeded number 3, it's no real surprise to find Coco Gauff qualified for this match. Expedient in her first round against compatriot Sofia Kenin, she didn't lose a game, winning 6-0, 6-0 in just 45 minutes. She then defeated former world number 6 Maria Sakkari for the second time this season, also in 2 sets. Eliminated in the last 8 at Indian Wells a few days ago by Switzerland's Belinda Bencic in a 3-set duel, the American will be hoping to go one better this time and progress beyond the last 8 at this tournament.

For her part, Magda Linette won her first 3 rounds in 2 sets. She first beat Russian and world No.47 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, then world No.20 Ekaterina Alexandrova, before stopping Czech and world No.215 Linda Fruhvirtova in the last 16. Promising victories for a player who has managed to string together 3 consecutive wins for the first time in her season at this Miami tournament.
