INDIAN WELLS – World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka shrugged off her stunning defeat by Emma Navarro in the fourth round of Indian Wells on March 13, and said that she hoped her “home” tournament in Miami next week would provide the platform to hit peak form again.

After winning the Australian Open in January for her second Grand Slam title, the Belarusian lost to Donna Vekic in the second round in Dubai before crashing 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to American Navarro in the Californian desert.
