Elena Vesnina News

Elena Vesnina’s title defense at the Indian Wells ended with the third round loss to Angelique Kerber. It would have ended earlier had she not turned the opening round match against Bellis around (2-6 6-1 6-1), winning the last two sets in 64 minutes.
Three months into 2018, Vesnina’s season is still in the negative territory, with a W/L of 5/6. Four out of six losses she suffered this year have come against someone who has reached a final this year (Osaka, Kvitova, Kasatkina, and Kerber).
Although, Vesnina has been much successful in doubles, with her usual partner, Makarova. They made the finals of Australian Open and, this month, at the Indian Wells as well.
Vesnina’s best result at Miami came in 2008 when the 21-year-old Russian reached the round of 16 on her third appearance. Since then, she has reached the third round five times, but could not progress further.

Donna Vekic News

Donna Vekic’s season has been more harrowing than Vesnina’s, winning just four matches from seven tournaments. This is in line with her conclusion of the 2017 season, with five straight losses.
Vekic won her first Miami Open main draw match since 2014 by defeating Giorgi (6-0 7-5). In 2014, she reached the third round by defeating Kimiko Date and Kuznetsova (as a qualifier). A month later, she won her first WTA title at Kuala Lumpur.
Vekic won her second title, after a wait of more than three years, at Nottingham last year, defeating the top-seed Johanna Konta.
Vesnina and Vekic had their first meeting here at Miami in 2013, with Vesnina winning in straight sets. They next met at the qualifying rounds of Madrid in 2015, when Vekic edged out Vesnina in the decider.
