The draw has been completed for 2023 Miami Open with the routes planned out for the top players on the ATP side after the WTA draw was completed on Sunday.

It was a draw which again was blighted by the use of the TennisOne app making it unwatchable to many given the prestige of the tournament albeit unlike the WTA draw, there wasn't any fart noises to report.

Carlos Alcaraz as top seed will receive a bye in the opening round as he looks to complete the Sunshine Double, he will then take on Facundo Bagnis or a qualifier with a potential third round against either Andy Murray or Maxime Cressy.

This impacts Tommy Paul who was at the draw ceremony and will play Marc-Andrea Huesler or Albert Ramos-Vinolas with a likely fourth round clash with the Spaniard.
