Wednesday features first round action in both the men’s and women’s singles draws.
The top men and women in the world are all present in Miami, with the notable exception of Novak Djokovic, who is skipping this tournament after an early loss in Indian Wells. The top 32 seeds receive a bye in the 96-player singles draws, meaning seeded players will contest their opening matches later this week.
But Wednesday’s schedule still features some top names, and a few blockbuster first round encounters. In a battle of Major champions to open the day’s play inside Hard Rock Stadium, recently-returned new mother Angelique Kerber faces 2018 Miami Open champ Sloane Stephens. Later in the day, two-time Miami champ Andy Murray plays Matteo Berrettini, who is just returning from yet another injury layoff. Plus, more Major champs in Naomi Osaka and Sofia Kenin will also be in action on Wednesday.
