The 30-year-old, who grew up in St Petersburg near Tampa, delighted the partisan home crowd with a 7-5 6-3 win, before breaking down in tears.

Danielle Collins produced a fairytale ending to her first WTA 1000 final in her last year on tour by beating Elena Rybakina to win the Miami Open.

Unseeded Collins, runner-up to Ashleigh Barty at the 2022 Australian Open, had won 12 straight sets after losing her first of the tournament, and continued to dig deep as she saw off Rybakina, who had reached a second straight Miami Open final.The opening set stayed on serve, with Collins saving three break points in the seventh game. The American then dug deep to fend off another break opportunity for Rybakina to hold again and lead 6-5.

Collins eventually took what was an error-strewn seventh game from both players to lead 4-3 – which again got the crowd fired up.
