Miami Open
will take place between March 17 and 31 at the Hard Rock Stadium, featuring two
weeks of the best ATP and WTA players in the culmination of the 'Sunshine
Double.' The U.S. tournament follows immediately after Indian Wells and serves
as the final major event before the clay season.
ATP Stars
The field is lead by 2023 champion Daniil Medvedev (No. 4), who aims
to defend his title against Jannik Sinner (No. 3), currently in top form.
Carlos Alcaraz seeks to overcome his inconsistent performance and finish the
Sunshine Double strongly, considering he defends the most points in the March
Masters 1000 tournaments.
Unlike
Indian Wells, Miami Open will witness a couple of significant absences, notably
Rafael Nadal who will prepare the exhibition with Alcaraz in Las Vegas at the end of Miami Open. Additionally, 3-times Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka has also
chosen to skip the tournament and also Novak Djokovic who is the latest casualty.
WTA looking for new champion
The most
notable absence in the WTA is the defending champion Petra Kvitova, who will
miss the rest of the season due to pregnancy. 2023 finalist Elena Rybakina has
already proven her proficiency in the Sunshine Double and will be among the
favorites, alongside Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff.
The WTA
organization has decided to grant wild cards to Grand Slam champion players.
Local and 7-times Grand Slam champion Venus Williams, who also won Indian Wells
in 1998, 1999, and 2001, will be part of the lineup. Caroline Wozniacki, a
finalist in 2017, and the 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu will also
feature.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.

- Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.mandoist29-10-2026
