Another day, another new opponent for Bianca Andreescu at the 2021 Miami Open.
The Canadian star continues her comeback after an injury-plagued 2020 on Sunday with a round-of-32 showdown with up-and-coming teenager Amanda Anisimova. Ranked 32nd in the world, 19-year-old Anisimova has had a less-than-stellar start to 2021 with second-round exits in each of the previous two tournaments she's appeared in so far this year.
However, the young American defeated 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens in straight sets on Friday to earn a shot against Andreescu, so the 20-year-old Canuck would be wise not to overlook Anisimova in their first-ever encounter.
For Andreescu, Sunday's match provides a clear step up in quality of opposition from the round of 64 when she defeated qualifier Tereza Martincova, but the Mississauga, Ont., native will still be favoured to come out on top.

- Date: Sunday, March 28
- Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
The match is scheduled for no earlier than 7:00 p.m. ET at the grandstand at Hard Rock Stadium, depending on the length of earlier matches.
