“Playing Maria in the next round is going to be very difficult,’’ Andreescu said. She became the first player to win the consecutive titles since Mary Joe Fernandez in 1984 and ‘85. Her next opponent in Friday’s second round: seventh-ranked Maria Sakkari (Greece), who lost to second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the Indian Wells semifinal. “I just kept telling myself it’s not over till it’s over because sometimes I tend to get maybe too ahead of myself, so I try to stay in the present moment and try not to drain my energy because that game was insane,’’ said Andreescu, No. “I encourage everybody to try it out — everybody.’’ She is now 9-2 in Miami Open matches. I’ve been very diligent with it, which isn’t always easy but it’s changed my life completely,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever played a game like that in my life.” Open champion Emma Raducanu, the spirited Andreescu sucked it up, engaged in some considerable self-talk and surged forward to win her opening match 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at Hard Rock Stadium.
