Every year, the Miami Open is one of the events that most tennis fans look forward to. Alongside Indian Wells, it forms the iconic ‘Sunshine Double’ during the summer. The WTA Miami Open is a premier event on the women’s circuit, worth 1000 points. It takes place annually in Miami Gardens, Florida, USA – home to the Hard Rock Stadium. The state-of-the-art sporting facility hosts multiple sporting events, and has a capacity of over 14,000 for tennis.

The 2025 WTA Miami Masters is being held between 16 March to 30 March 2025. It is the 40th edition of the combined men’s and women’s event, with the best players in the world set to feature. Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek start as the top seeds, with the likes of Coco Gauff, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina also taking part. Additionally, newly crowned Indian Wells winner Mirra Andreeva and defending Miami Open champion Danielle Collins are also part of the draw.

Danielle Collins won the 2024 Miami Open, beating Elena Rybakina 7-5 6-3 in the final. It was the American’s first WTA-1000 crown, making her just the second unseeded woman to win the competition after Kim Clijsters in 2005. In the 2024 women’s doubles final, former Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin partnered with doubles veteran Bethanie Mattek-Sands to down Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski.

It is a star-studded lineup at the 2025 WTA Miami Open, headlined by Australian Open and Indian Wells runner-up Aryna Sabalenka. The World No. 1 receives a ticket straight into Round-2, where she will face either Caty McNally or Viktoriya Tomova. While a blockbuster encounter against Donna Vekic or Danielle Collins awaits in Round-4, the likes of Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini and Elena Rybakina await in the latter stages of her draw.

Polish sensation Iga Swiatek has a tricky potential Second Round battle with Caroline Garcia, before running into Karolina Muchova or Elina Svitolina in Round-4. Arch nemesis Jelena Ostapenko, the in-form Mirra Andreeva and reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys are the other big names in this section of the player list. It will be interesting to see if the Pole can navigate her way to the fag end of the tournament, considering a surprise dip in form of late.

Some of the intriguing Round-1 matches include:

Petra Kvitová vs Sofia Kenin

Belinda Bencic vs Dayana Yastremska

Katie Boulter vs Peyton Stearns
