Barty beats Pliskova for Miami Open title. MORE:
The 22-year-old Australian, who was seeded 12th, won her fourth title and the biggest of her career. She improved to 18-3 this year and will rise next week to career-high ranking of No. 9.
Barty became the fifth different Miami Open women's champion in the past five years, and she's the 14th different WTA titlist in 2019. Barty won a 14-stroke rally with a nifty backhand drop shot to go ahead 2-1 in the tiebreaker, and she was ahead the rest of the way. She outlasted Pliskova in a 20-point game to break at the start of the second set, smacked three consecutive aces for a 3-1 lead, and won eight of the final nine points.
