Now with Indian Wells behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to the second half of the Sunshine Double when hundreds of tennis players meet in Florida for the combined ATP and WTA 1000 Miami Open.
The main draw kicks off on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, and will close with the women’s final on Saturday, March 30, 2024, and the men’s singles final on Sunday, March 31, 2024 starting at 2:00 pm.
