Miami Open history
As a beacon of international tennis, the Miami Open has a rich history that dates back to the 1960s. It was then that top tennis players like Jack Kramer, Frank Sedgman, Pancho Gonzalez, Pancho Segura, and Butch Buchholz toured the country in a station wagon, playing tennis in darkened arenas and fairgrounds. This dream of an international tennis tournament in Miami was finally realized in 1985 when the first ball was struck at the International Players Championships.
The tournament, initially held at Laver’s International Tennis Resort in Delray Beach, moved to Boca Raton in 1986 before finding its home in Key Biscayne in 1987. Known as the “Winter Wimbledon,” it was the first major tournament of the year. The tournament then moved to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens starting in 2019.
The Miami Open has grown into one of the largest tennis tournaments outside the four Grand Slams. It’s a part of the men’s ATP Tour Masters 1000 circuit and the women’s WTA 1000 circuit. The event is usually held between March and April and continues to attract top players from around the world. It holds a record 300,000 visitors attending matches at the 12-day tournament in 2010.
The tournament was officially founded by former player Butch Buchholz, who was the executive director of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in the 1980s.
The 2024 edition of the Miami Open will feature Pickleball and Wheelchair events along with the traditional event. Historically, Djokovic has won it six times, Federer 4 times, and Andy Murray twice. Rafael Nadal lost in five finals being one of only a few tournaments he has never won. At the women's side Serena Williams stands out with 8 wins, Steffi Graf 5, and Venus Williams won it 3 times.
