The Miami Open has started and some of the best names in the world are all set to compete against one another to clinch the prestigious title. Peyton Stearns is just one among them and is looking all set to make it as far as she can in the tournament. Playing her first-round match at the event, she faced Wang Yafan. The young American star managed to sweep off the Chinese star in straight sets and won the match with the scoreline of 6-2, 6-3.

However, her win was not something that stole the show. What made her match more special was the presence of a special guest. Victoria Azarenka‘s former boyfriend, Redfoo, surprised fans as he was spotted in the box of the rising young American WTA star at the Miami Open. Stearns, known for her lively personality and cheerful nature, crossed paths with Redfoo during the Indian Wells tournament, where she found his energy infectious.

Impressed by their encounter, Stearns extended an invitation to Redfoo to join her at the Miami Open. His presence in Stearns’ box built the attention of spectators, sparking curiosity about their connection. While Azarenka’s romantic history with Redfoo remains in the past, his appearance alongside Stearns hinted at a new chapter in both their lives, although its nature is speculative for now.

What makes things more interesting is the fact that the Belarusian tennis beauty Azarenka will be going head-to-head against Peyton Stearns in the next round.

While Redfoo’s presence was highly anticipated by many, not everyone was happy with Stearns’ invitation to the famous musician.
