2021 WTA Miami Open Entry List with Williams, Barty, Osaka

The 2021 Miami Open will be held from March 23rd - April 3rd and the top WTA field is seeking the title from Miami.

We have seen a lot of champions crowned in Miami but there's one that stands out. Of course, that is no one else than Serena Williams who triumphed 8 times at the Miami Open and she will fight for her 9th title in 2021.

But she will face strong competition of not just other former champions, but also players that showed great form in 2021. Some of the former champions include Victoria Azarenka, Johanna Konta, Sloane Stephens, and also world number 1 and 2019 Miami Open champion, Ashleigh Barty.

The field is big for the WTA 1000 event, and as usually, there is no clear favorite. Garbine Muguruza, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Jennifer Brady and also Elise Mertens all showed great form in 2021 and they can challenge likes of Naomi Osaka, Ashleigh Barty, Simona Halep or Serena Williams who will also try to win the title.
