One big US spring hardcourt tournament down. Another to go.
As the sunny desert landscapes of Indian Wells give way to the humid electricity of Miami, the players are readying for another big, prestigious stop on the calendar.
Borna Coric headed straight to the practice courts of Crandon Park:

Meanwhile, others eased into their Miami arrival:

Others, however, were not focused on Miami at all. ICYMI the first 50 times she posted about it on all of her social media channels, Caroline Wozniacki gave us another reminder of her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photoshoot. Photographed with no beach in sight. And loosely connecting it to the first day of spring. Enjoy!
Happy first day of spring!! ?????? @SI_Swimsuit pic.twitter.com/wO0JLFDdaU
