In her latest Sky Sports column, Gigi Salmon reflects on the exciting events that unfolded at the Miami Open, including Jannik Sinner’s dominant victory, Danielle Collins’ fairytale ending, and her own adventures in the vibrant city of Miami.
The Miami Open, a joint ATP and WTA 1000 event, provided a unique setting for thrilling tennis matches. Sinner’s impressive performance led him to his third title of the year, with only one defeat and a rise to a career-high ranking of number two. On the women’s side, American player Danielle Collins secured the biggest title of her career, moving up in the rankings and earning a spot as a seed in Grand Slam tournaments.
Aside from the on-court action, Miami also offered celebrity sightings, with Serena Williams, Shakira, and Mike Tyson among the notable attendees. Salmon and her colleague Annabel Croft found themselves in the midst of star-studded moments, including witnessing Andre Agassi blowing kisses to Martina Navratilova.
Salmon also shared her off-court experiences, from avoiding salsa dancing in Little Havana to trying out the popular sport of pickleball. Additionally, she endured a challenging workout at Barry’s Bootcamp, describing it as a form of “modern-day torture.”
