Mar 28, 2024; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Victoria Azarenka hits a forehand against Elena Rybakina on day eleven of the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY SportsFourth seed Elena Rybakina overcame a second-set meltdown to beat Belarusian Victoria Azarenka 6-4 0-6 7-6 on Thursday and secure a return trip to the Miami Open final.

"It was such a tough battle," Rybakina, a Moscow-born Kazakh, said during her on-court interview after reaching her fourth final of the year. Azarenka refused to go quietly, however, conjuring up a flawless display in the second set in which she limited Rybakina to five points and broke her serve three times to force a decider.

Rybakina, serving to stay in the match, held to love to force a tiebreak and she won the first three points of it before closing out the win.
