Tennager Anisimova to face Muguruza in Miami
Amanda Anisimova will face Garbine Muguruza in the second round of the Miami Open after the 16-year-old ousted Wang Qiang on Wednesday (AEDT).
Anisimova caused a major shock by halting Petra Kvitova's 14-match winning run at Indian Wells last week to reach the last 16.
She is the second-youngest player in the Miami Open draw but age is no barrier for Anisimova.
Wildcard Anisimova – ranked 77 places below her Chinese opponent, broke three times to set up a meeting with Wimbledon champion Muguruza following Tuesday's 6-3 1-6 6-2.
Kvitova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova fell victim to the teenager at Indian Wells.
The American teenager will get the chance to claim another big scalp when she faces world number three Muguruza after seeing off Wang in three sets.
Meanwhile, Johanna Larsson set up a second-round showdown with two-time major champion and 10th seed Angelique Kerber, while Kirsten Flipkens will face defending champion Johanna Konta.
