Mirra Andreeva's pinpoint pass
Mirra Andreeva pounded the corners a couple of times before changing course with a backhand drop shot, which Marie Bouzkova got to and pushed deep into the court. Andreeva responded with a perfect pass that breezed past Bouzkova and hugged the line.
Andreeva closed out that second set for the 7-6 (4), 6-2 win.
Jelena Ostapenko's running forehand winner
On triple break point early in the deciding third set against Jasmine Paolini, Jelena Ostapenko responded to Paolini's moonball with one of her own. Hard-hitting groundstrokes followed, and after the Italian hit a backhand down the line, Ostapenko countered with a perfect running forehand winner down the line.
Ostapenko narrowly won the set to complete the 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 upset.
Coco Gauff's backhand winner on the run
Gauff's movement and defense were stellar throughout the tournament, and both were on display during this wild point against Sorana Cirstea. At 3-3, 15-all in the second set, Gauff hit a one-handed backhand return from behind the baseline, then sprinted to the other corner and hit a running forehand crosscourt. Cirstea, close to the net, tried to put her away with a drop shot. But the speedy World No. 4 got there and drilled a backhand winner crosscourt to take the point.
Hailey Baptiste's slice down the line
Hailey Baptiste had a breakthrough couple of weeks in Miami, reaching her first career WTA 1000 quarterfinal. Her success was due, in part, to spectacular shots like this. Leading 3-2 in the second set, Ostapenko chipped an awkward, angled slice towards the sideline. The American, in perfect position, responded with a funky shot of her own -- a deep slice that landed just inside the line. All Ostapenko could do was watch.
Baptiste won the set for the 6-3, 6-4 win.
Coco Gauff's clutch defensive scrambles
We end, fittingly, with Gauff, who made her first career Miami Open final. Early in the third set against Belinda Bencic, the American was in need of some momentum after a difficult second set. She got plenty of it on this point, energizing the Hard Rock Stadium with more sparkling defense. Like in the earlier point against Cirstea, Gauff covered everything despite being in vulnerable positions at the most extreme angles of the court.
After Bencic hit a nifty return of her own, Gauff came to the net and hit a running backhand, which Bencic again managed to get her racquet on. But her ball sailed softly just over the net, where Gauff was waiting for it, and she put it away for the winner.
Gauff went on to win 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 to advance to the semifinals.
