BNP Paribas Open champion Naomi Osaka had to go through Maria Sharapova en route to her first career title. If she wants to win another at Miami she’ll have to go through Serena Williams. Osaka was drawn to face eight-time champion Serena Williams in the first round. Making things trickier, the winner of that match will face No.4-seeded Elina Svitolina.
Williams and Osaka are in the same quarter of the draw as Daria Kasatkina, Petra Kvitova and Jelena Ostapenko.
Another high profile wild card, Victoria Azarenka, has a tricky first-rounder as well. She’ll face American CiCi Bellis in the first round with the winner moving on to face No.14-seeded Madison Keys.
