Excitement Builds for Miami Open Women's Final: Sabalenka vs. Gauff
Miami Open Women's Singles Final Preview
As the Miami Open approaches its highly anticipated women's singles final, Kai Trump has expressed her support for World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who is set to compete against American star Coco Gauff on March 28 (Saturday night). This match will mark Gauff's inaugural appearance in the Miami Open final. A victory would elevate her to the third position in the global rankings, and the 19-year-old American is eager to secure the title against the formidable Belarusian.
Kai, a student at the University of Miami and granddaughter of former US President Donald Trump, attended the tournament earlier this week, where she had the opportunity to meet Sabalenka. She shared a photo on Instagram with the tennis player, stating: “Had so much fun watching @arynasabalenka. Let's get it on Saturday.” Although Gauff is the local favorite, Kai's support appears to lean towards Sabalenka, likely influenced by the Belarusian's comments regarding her grandfather.
Reflecting on Donald Trump's absence from last year's US Open final, where she triumphed over Amanda Anisimova, Sabalenka remarked: “It just seems to me that he is the president, he probably has his own schedule. And still, probably, Alcaraz and Sinner after such incredible two finals that they played in Paris and London. It will be a really spectacular match, and I don't think it is some kind of disrespect for women's tennis. I know that he follows women's tennis and supports it, so one hundred percent. It's like he probably has his own busy schedule.”
Looking ahead to the upcoming match, Sabalenka stated: “It's going to be a battle and I'm super excited to play her in another final. A lot of rallies, a lot of emotions, a lot of aggression, a lot of fun.” Gauff, on her part, is thrilled to compete in front of her home crowd. “It feels great to be at home. I am alternating between my parents' house and my own, depending on how late we finish. They live a bit closer, so it is nice to have that family support,” she noted, emphasizing the role of family in helping her stay grounded during this intense tournament.
