Miami Open Tickets

The Miami Open is an annual tennis tournament that features some of the top talent in the world competing on a hard-court surface. In terms of importance in the annual tennis season, it ranks just below the four big majors as a part of the ATP Masters 1000 on the men’s side and the Premier Mandatory on the women’s side. The inaugural Miami Open took place in 1985. In its first few years of operation, the Miami Open bounced around the Palm Beach area. However, in 1987, the tournament found a permanent home at

Crandon Park

in Key Biscayne, Fla., where it would remain for more than 30 years. In 2019, the organizers moved the tournament to

Hard Rock Stadium

, which is also the home of the

Miami Dolphins

and the

Miami Hurricanes

. Past winners of the tournament include Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Serena and Venus Williams, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Pete Sampras, Andy Murray, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. If you enjoy the thrill of high-octane tennis, then you can purchase your Miami Open tickets at StubHub, the leading source of tickets for live events.

What is the format of the Miami Open?

The Miami Open is a single-elimination tournament. Each match is a best-of-three, and the winner advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated. The top 32 players are seeded based on their overall tour rankings. The remaining players are spread throughout the rest of the bracket. As the name implies, the Miami Open is an open tournament, so players can receive an entry into the main bracket through victory in the qualifying stages. The results of the tournament count toward the player’s regular-season standings. Since this is a Masters 1000/Premier Mandatory tournament, it counts more than a standard tournament but less than a Grand Slam major.

When will the Miami Open take place?

The 2020 Miami Open schedule is set for March 23rd to April 5th. Although the Hard Rock Stadium will also host the 2020 Super Bowl, it should not affect the tournament schedule in any way. The tournament bracket will be determined in advance.

Who was the winner of the last Miami Open?

The doubles winners were Mike and Bob Bryan on the men’s side and Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka on the women’s side.

What can I expect from a visit to the Hard Rock Stadium?

Hard Rock Stadium features all the modern amenities you would expect from a first-class stadium, including premium seating. Despite the fact that Hard Rock Stadium was originally built to host football games, it has undergone various renovations to accommodate tennis matches. This includes a 14,000-seat court inside the stadium, 29 competition courts, 18 practice courts and much more. Around the tennis campus, you can find food trucks, art displays, live entertainment and a large video board on the stadium that shows the latest tennis action. Parking is available in the lots directly adjacent to the stadium. Moreover, ADA-compatible seating and parking are available for guests with disabilities.
