Angelique Kerber has sweet message for daughter Liana as she nears walking milestone at Indian Wells

While the country's focus is on college basketball and March Madness, some former and current WTA players were more interested in the pro league, attending Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers games; two sides of the country that, coincidentally, hold the first two ATP Masters 1000s of the year.

Living legend Billie Jean King was in Los Angeles for a Lakers win over the Charlotte Hornets. She got to take a picture with a fellow legendary King, Lebron James.

Attending a Heat game seems to be turning into a tradition for many players who attend the Miami Open. Novak Djokovic is a known fan of the basketball team, having gone to games over the last few years.

Great to start in Miami with W! No match tomorrow as Mayer forfeits. Used some free time me to watch Basketball #heat pic.twitter.com/oIktTFzjrg
