Miami is known as the "Sunshine Doubles" in North America along with last week's Indian Wells event, and it is also an outdoor hard court event for both men and women, and the WTA is also a 1,000-point tournament. Naomi Osaka, who is of mixed Japanese and American descent, bid farewell to the haze of the first round of the Indian Wells station, switched to Hard Rock Stadium in Florida to adjust and stabilize, and blocked Samsonova's fierce counterattack at the end of the second set, and lost straight sets in 1 hour and 22 minutes to qualify for the second set. This is also the 2022 Miami runner-up Naomi Osaka, who defeated Samsonova for the second time in her career since winning the second round at Indian Wells last year, but Madrid was avenged by her opponent in three sets in the second round.

Naomi Osaka, who has four Grand Slam titles, is still looking for a comeback since her comeback from childbirth last year, with a current record of 8 wins and 3 defeats this season, and her next opponent will be American wild card Baptist. In January this year, the top 8 duo in Auckland met in a narrow way, and Naomi Osaka narrowly won the runner-up in New Zealand's big city after a fierce three-set battle.
