ATP and WTA pros play footvolley in Miami

!Welcome to Florida Week! As the tours head southeast for the Miami Open, TENNIS.com and Baseline will feature all things Sunshine State. You’ll learn about the personalities, stories, teams and venues that have made Florida one of the tennis capitals of the world. We’ll also be reporting from the Miami Open in Key Biscayne.

As you’ll learn this week, when it comes to tennis, Florida isn’t just a state—it’s a state of mind.

There's a lot of sports out there, and if it feels like a new one is popping up everyday, that may be because it is. At Crandon Park Beach, the Miami Open featured a footvolley exhibition, with Jamie Murray, Bruno Soares, Joao Saousa, Kristina Mladenovic and Daria Kasatkina trying their skills out.

If it looks incredibly difficult, that's because it is.

"We enjoyed it a lot and I think we did quite OK, right?" Mladenovic said, likening the sport to volleyball.

And Soares and Murray should have been naturals, given they've teamed up to win multiple Slams together.

But the women held their own too, with a simple strategy in mind.

"I just put the ball on the other side, like in tennis," Kasatkina said.
