When is the schedule confirmed for Miami Open WTA?
The schedule is confirmed the day before the tournament on Monday, March 16.
Predictions Miami Open WTA
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate sees Karolina Muchova winning the title.
I think that Coco Gauff won't play in Miami so she won't figure. Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek I think will be up there but will just fall short.
Often WTA 1000 tournaments have produced surprise winners in regards to players just below the top three and I think it will be one of Karolina Muchova, Victoria Mboko or Amanda Anisimova who win this title.
At the same time though I would not be shocked to see Sabalenka retain come March 29.
*** Karolina Muchova
** Victoria Mboko, Amanda Anisimova, Aryna Sabalenka
Lucas Michael, Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Amanda Anisimova crowned as champion.
Just before the WTA Tour makes the switch to clay, there is still one more huge hardcourt tournament set to be played out. The Miami Open has brought a huge number of storylines and drama throughout the past, with the winner a tough one to choose.
Unlike the ATP to an extent, anyone can beat anyone, with only a few players currently hitting their peak potential. One of them is Aryna Sabalenka, who I see comfortably making it deep in this event. It is only whether she can get over the line, unlike a number of the tournaments she has recently played in. She and two-time finalist Elena Rybakina go into it as the outright favourites, but the queue behind them could make for an interesting conclusion.
Amanda Anisimova to win Miami?
I am not totally convinced about Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff, who may struggle with injury, with Mirra Andreeva’s form also being up and down. Last year’s runner-up, Jessica Pegula, will want to go one further and has the capabilities of doing that after what has been a fantastic start to the year. A second WTA 1000 title of 2026 could be within touching distance, but I am not going to predict her, or even anyone mentioned previously.
Switching it up, I am going to pick Amanda Anisimova to return to the winning enclosure. Her level has improved recently, and the American has shown that she can grind out victories. I predict a third WTA 1000 title to go the way of Anisimova in Florida.
*** Amanda Anisimova
** Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula
* Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, Iga Swiatek

- 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.

- 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
