 Victoria Azarenka versus Julia Puttenseva is the second quarterfinal for the ladies Miami open for 2024 Both players were not expected to come this far Puttenseva entered the tournament unseeded and would take on Buxa in the first round After dropping the second set would fight back in three six twos three six six four in the second round She take on the 13th seed Samson over who had not been playing well in 2024 so far and again after dropping the second set fight back to win six one four six six three in the third round She take on the lucky loser Minnan and again after dropping the second set would fight back to Win six two two six six four in the fourth round she take on Kalanina the 32nd seed We've just beaten Saber Lenka in the previous round and again a close match putting several winning in straights Six four seven six to advance to the quarterfinal as I rank her into the tournament as the 27th seed We get a buy in the first round in the second round She played Stern who'd been very aggressive the last couple of weeks and very fun to watch and after dropping the second set As a record fight to win seven five three six six three in the third round She take on Zheng number seven seed and Australian open finalists This is no problem getting through in straights six four seven five in the fourth round She take on Bolta the 24th seed We're just taking out her dad Jamiro in the previous round and again no problem for Azarenka getting through in straights Seven five six one to advance to the quarterfinal These were played twice before with Azarenka winning both of those matches however both matches went the distance with their previous match in Doha a couple years ago going seven five in the third so putting Saber definitely can compete against Azarenka and really Frustrator in this quarterfinal putting seven is going to win this one. She needs to keep her head We saw that with when she plays for yontek and Indian Wells And she just lost her mind a little bit and got a little bit frustrated She's gonna win this match and get the biggest win of her life or the biggest finals of her life She needs to do well Mentally in this one if she's gonna be a champ if Azarenka's gonna win this one She needs to also keep her cool, but bully putting Saber. She's got the two zero record She's got the confidence there even though they were close wins. They were still wins So she's got to use that against putting seven maybe frustrate putting Saber as well by just playing aggressive And not giving her anything such a random matchup of course We didn't expect this with Saber Lanker and Zheng in the draw We thought maybe we get a rematch of the Australian open final that didn't happen. We have this one I've got to go with Azarenka in three I think that Azarenka on experience should be able to get the win here and maybe a three-setter I mean they play two three-setters already, but let me know down in the comments below Who do you think's gonna make the finals?
