serve, before Rybakina squandered two break points and Collins converted hers to take a 5-3 lead. She sealed the win shortly afterwards on her fourth match point. Competing on home soil, the Floridian was roared on by a crowd so enthusiastic she felt like she was “playing in front of thousands of my best friends.” “That was just surreal,” she said, according to the WTA. “I will never forget this day because of that.” She became the sixth American woman to win the Miami Open, following in the footsteps of Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Venus Williams, Serena Williams and Sloane Stephens. Despite her success in Miami, Collins said she will not reconsider her decision to retire. “I feel like all of these questions are coming from such a good place, because I feel like a lot of people would like to continue seeing me play well,” she told Sky Sports. “But like I said, I have some health challenges, and with those health challenges, it makes things for me away from the court a little more difficult. I hope everyone can respect that. It’s a very emotional and personal thing.”

Jimmy Buffett’s sister reveals she was diagnosed with cancer ‘about the same time’ as him
When the late singer Jimmy Buffett was diagnosed with a rare skin cancer about four years ago, his younger sister Laurie Buffett McGuane was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer not long after.
McGuane, who is now cancer-free, told People the siblings supported each other through their individual treatments.
“Jimmy and I became closer because of our cancers. We talked before and after our scans,” she said. “We shared a club that nobody wants to join. I am thunderstruck that Jimmy didn’t make it.”
She remembered her brother, whom she affectionately called Bubba, for inspiring her to stay strong.
“I rode my horse during my treatments and tried to continue with my life the same way Jimmy has done,” McGuane said. “He brought joy to so many. I am very emotional now. When Jimmy was in the world, I felt safe.”
McGuane said she was among the family members by Buffett’s side when he died. She shared a photo of them as children in a tribute on Instagram.
