Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff are among the most followed players around the world, but their fans will need to wait until March to see them in action on a WTA event. In fact, all of them agreed to compete during this weekend to defend the colors of their country in the Fed Cup. However, that will be it for them as they are not scheduled as yeat to compete in any other tournament this month.
Obviously, all of them are expected to play in Indian Wells and Miami. Serena had a depressing run last year in the Sunshine Double as she retired from both events in the 3rd round. Naomi lost in the 4th round in Indian Wells (Belinda Bencic) and the 3rd in Miami (Su-Wei Hsieh). Coco lost in the 1st round to Timea Bacsinszky in Indian Wells while she reached the 2nd round in Miami, where she was defeated by Daria Kasaktina. They are all expected to go for more this year.
