MIAMI — The new site for the Miami Open suddenly is missing a lot of star power. Less than two hours later, top-ranked Naomi Osaka lost in the third round to tour veteran Hsieh Su-Wei of Taiwan, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3. The victory Friday was Williams’ first at Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins’ home and the Miami Open’s new centre court. “It was an amazing experience to play at Hard Rock Stadium this year, and I would like to thank the Miami Open for putting on an amazing event. Williams’ stay at the Miami Open was also brief last year, when she lost in the first round to Osaka.
