Coco Gauff defeated Belinda Bencic 6–3, 1–6, 6–3 in the Miami Masters 1000 quarter-final on hard court, an upset of the pre-match favourite Bencic. Gauff's performance was streaky, surrendering the second set decisively after dominating the opener, but she recovered composure to claim the decisive third set and advance. The American's ability to regroup after a poor middle set proved decisive against a Bencic side that could not maintain consistency across the match. Gauff's quarter-final victory at a Masters 1000 event strengthens her credentials heading into the latter stages of the tournament.
