Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans and friends, today is Saturday, March 22, 2025, and welcome to listen to the afternoon newsletter brought to you by "Tennis House".

Last night, Beijing time, the ATP/WTA1000 Miami Open continued. In a key match in the second round of the Men's Singles, fourth seed and Serbian star Novak Djokovic was in solid form, beating Australian teenager Rinki Hijikata 6-0 7-6(1) to end a three-game losing streak since the Australian Open semi-finals and win Miami for the first time in six years.

After this campaign, Djokovic's Masters win tally rose to 410, tying the retired Spanish god Nadal, and the two are tied for the first place in history.

In the next round, Djokovic's opponent is Argentina's lucky loser Carabelli, who defeated American teenager Mickelsen 6-7(3) 7-5 6-3, but his overall strength is far from that of the Serbian king, so there is no doubt that Djokovic's Masters wins will surpass Nadal's. It was also Djokovic's 501st career Masters match, surpassing Nadal with 500 matches to become the sole leader of the rankings.

Elsewhere: Former tournament champion and Russian star Dmitry Medvedev lost two sets in a row to Spaniard Munar 2-6 3-6 after suffering a back injury. After deducting points from last year's semi-finals, Mei's instant world ranking slipped to 10th and is likely to fall out of the top 10 after this tournament. The 38-year-old French veteran saved a match point to beat Czech rising star Lehecka 6-1 3-6 7-6(8) to become the oldest player to reach the third round of the tournament since 1992. Greece's Tsitsipas defeated Taiwan's Zeng Junxin 4-6 7-5 6-3 to advance to the third round.

In another high-profile match near noon, Spanish star Alcaraz was defeated 7-5 4-6 3-6 by Belgian veteran Goffin and lost a round of defeat. Other winners to advance were Musetti, Aliassime, Dimitrov, Ruud, Khachanov, Koda, Tabilo, Tommy Paul and Serundoro.

Women's Singles: Second seed Swiatek knocked out France's Garcia 6-2 7-5 in the second round to advance to the third round of this year's Sunshine Doubles. Fifth seed Keith got off to a flying start with a 6-3 6-3 win over Armenian Avanesyan. Eleventh seed and Russian star Mila Andreeva was in red-hot form, beating compatriot Kudermetova 6-0 6-2 to extend her winning streak to 13 matches. Next up is her 1000 champion this year, American Anisimova, who is also in good form with a 6-2 6-2 win over Egypt's sister Sharif. This time there is a good show.

Elsewhere: Ukrainian cabbage Svitolina swept past Switzerland's Bencic 6-1 6-2 and will next face Czech Mukhova, who won the first set 6-0 before receiving a retirement gift from Belarus' Azarenka. Former US Open champion and rising British star Raducanu narrowly defeated eighth seed American Navarro 7-6(6) 2-6 7-6(3) to beat the world's top 10 on hard court for the first time in her career to advance to the third round.

Other winners to advance were Pegula, Karinskaya, Kessler, Badosa, Iera, Blinkova, Kostyuk, Towson and Mertens.

Finally, let's guess and recognize. The image below is a casual photo of a player. Can you recognize who she is without prompting?

In the last guess, the golfer gave the correct answer. That's right, the person in the picture is none other than the Ukrainian Kostyuk.
