Miami Open Players and Draw
Carlos Alcaraz is the top seed, facing either Aleksandar Vukic or Robert Carballes Baena in the second round. Following his victory at Indian Wells, the Spaniard will be a firm favorite to win the Miami Open.
However, second-seeded Jannik Sinner has been in imperious form so far this season. The Australian Open winner lost in the semifinals at Indian Wells and will seek to win in Miami after finishing second in 2021 and 2023.
Defending champion Daniil Medvedev is seeded third in the Miami Open and is a strong championship contender given his ability on hard courts. The Russian will face Marton Fucsovics or Max Purcell in his opening match.
Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, and Holger Rune are also among the favourites to win in Miami.
