Canada's Leylah Fernandez has one clear goal for the rest of the year: raising her singles ranking.
Former world number one Naomi Osaka said she is not focusing on just results and is instead looking at the "bigger picture" having returned to tennis last year after giving birth.
Danielle Collins again faced questions about her decision to retire this year after she powered into the Miami Open semi-finals on Wednesday but the American said her reasons for leaving the sport were about much more than tennis.
:Ekaterina Alexandrova backed up her win over world number one Iga Swiatek with a 3-6 6-4 6-4 upset of fifth seed Jessica Pegula on Wednesday to reach the Miami Open semi-finals for the first time.
Danielle Collins boosted her hopes of winning a title in her farewell season as the unseeded American beat French 23rd seed Caroline Garcia 6-3 6-2 on Wednesday to reach the Miami Open semi-finals.
World number three Coco Gauff said it would not be easy to shrug off Monday's Miami Open defeat by Caroline Garcia but the former Roland Garros runner-up is setting her sights on the claycourt season and the year's second Grand Slam.
World number one Iga Swiatek kept her nerve to beat 26th-ranked Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 6-4 at the WTA Miami Open on Sunday. A day after Swiatek's closest challenger, Aryna Sabalenka, was knocked out of the tournament, the Pole faced a real test from Noskova. The Czech had upset Swiatek in the third round of the Australian Open before the four-time Grand Slam winner gained revenge at Indian Wells. The third meeting this year between the pair was, not surprisingly, a tight affair.
Naomi Osaka said she had taken a leaf out of Novak Djokovic's tactical playbook and tweaked her return game at the Qatar Open after the former women's world number one earned back-to-back wins for the first time in almost two years.
Naomi Osaka put last week's first round defeat in Abu Dhabi behind her with a straight sets defeat of 15th seed Caroline Garcia at the Qatar Open on Monday. This was former world number one Osaka's second win from the five matches she has played since returning last month after a 15-month time out on maternity leave from the tour. The Japanese four-time Grand Slam winner was exacting a small measure of revenge on Garcia with this 7-5, 6-4 success in Doha as it was the French star Garcia who knocked her out in the first round of last month's Australian Open.
