Ranked 95th in the world, Nagal displayed remarkable resilience as he battled past Moutet with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the opening match of the Grand Prix Hassan II event. This victory was particularly significant considering Nagal's previous defeat against the same opponent in the Challenger final in Helsinki last year.

In a gripping match lasting 2 hours and 2 minutes, both players displayed remarkable power hitting. Despite the tough competition, the 30-year-old Collins emerged victorious, securing her third WTA singles title, her first-ever WTA 1000 title, and her first championship since 2021.

This victory also propelled Dimitrov back into the top echelons of men's tennis, as he climbed to No. 9 in the ATP Live Rankings, marking his return to the Top 10 for the first time since November 2018. The 260-week gap between his previous Top 10 standing stands as the third-longest in ATP Rankings history, highlighting the resilience and determination of the Bulgarian athlete.

Set to unfold from April 15th in the charming French city of Rouen, the WTA 250 tournament marks its third annual installment. For Osaka, this venture onto clay marks a significant return since her last appearance at Roland Garros in 2022, where she faced an early exit at the hands of Amanda Anisimova in the initial round. Her most recent triumph on clay dates back to Madrid 2022, where she conquered Anastasia Potapova in the opening round, as reported by WTA.

Bopanna, who faced setbacks in the Dubai Championships and the Indian Wells Masters, reclaimed his momentum with this crucial win, aiming to regain his top spot in the doubles rankings when they are updated on Monday. Following his triumph at the Australian Open, the 44-year-old Bopanna had already made history by becoming the oldest player to reach the world No.1 spot in the ATP rankings.

This triumph marks Dimitrov's inaugural entry into the Miami semifinals, adding to his impressive track record of reaching the last four in eight out of nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments.

Their journey to victory wasn't without hurdles as they battled through a challenging quarterfinal, marked by a series of unforced errors in the initial set. Despite this, they managed to secure a hard-fought win with a scoreline of 3-6, 7-6 (4), 10-7.
