With no time to breathe, much less to assimilate everything that happened in California, the world tennis staff moves to the east coast to play another of the most important tournaments in the world, such as the Miami Open 2023. As much as the new venue has lost some packaging compared to the editions in which it was played in Key Biscayne, the historical importance and specific weight of this event is enormous, so strong emotions are expected this edition. Carlos Alcaraz arrives as the first seed and current champion, as well as Every Swiatekalthough both are aware that they have very tough rivals to beat with whom they could run into sooner than expected, such as Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinnerin the case of the Murcian, or Elena Rybakina in the Polish one.
As in Indian Wells, both individual tables are made up of 128 spaces, with 96 tennis players in contention since the 32 seeded players enjoy a Bye in first round. The maximum demand involved in having to win six games to become champion being one of the best in the world makes it very interesting to analyze what potential clashes they may have. In addition, it goes without saying that if you want to win the tournament without being seeded, the difficulty is even greater when you have to face the challenge of winning seven games in less than two weeks.
The draw for the men’s draw will be held on Monday, March 21 at 12:30 p.m. local time, that is, 5:30 p.m. in Spainso it will take into account the ranking that is published that day and includes what happened in California, something that will not happen in the women’s draw since the draw is the Sunday March 20 at 2:00 p.m. local time, which translates into 7:00 p.m. in Spain. This curious fact means that the seeding order in Florida is identical to the one that has been experienced in California, for which Rybakina is greatly affected, for example, who has gained positions in the last week and will not be able to enjoy it. in this event.

The improvement in positions by Medvedev means that the Russian can only cross in a hypothetical semifinal with Alcaraz or Tsitsipas, Ruud becoming the preferred rival for any of them. Aliassime and Rune are fearsome again in potential quarterfinals, although Hurkacz should not be underestimated either, who knows what it is to reign in this event. The position of two highly dangerous players, such as Zverev and Berrettini, who could give the tournament a blow by eliminating some of the best ahead of schedule, is far behind. We will also have to be aware of whether Davidovich continues to evolve. In short, strong emotions are coming in the ATP Masters 1000 Miami Open 2023.
