Coco Gauff retired from her third-round match at Indian Wells on Sunday with a "scary" left arm injury that "felt like it was on fire" but was optimistic she could sort out the problem in time to play in Miami.
The 21-year-old world number four was trailing Alexandra Eala 6-2, 2-0 when the American called it a day, sending the rising star from the Philippines into the last 16.
