Peyton Stearns and Taylor Townsend advanced to the final of the ATX Open after winning their semifinals on Saturday.

Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova captured the Miami Open women's doubles title on March 30, defeating Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini 7-6 (7-0), 6-1. A rain delay interrupted the first set at 5-6, 40-0, prompting Townsend to take a 15-minute power nap while Siniakova dealt with flight stress. The match shifted courts, but the champions stayed focused.
