Miami Open odds

Novak Djokovic has not played in Miami since 2019 and the six-time champion is again missing in 2024 after opting to withdraw from this year's event.

The Serbian's withdrawal means Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev, champions in Miami in 2022 and 2023, are likely to be among the top contenders in the men's event, as is Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner

Iga Swiatek won the Miami Open in 2022 and the Pole will be among the leading contenders for the WTA event alongside Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, US Open winner Coco Gauff and former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.

Miami Open history

The Miami Open was founded in 1985 with both men's and women's tournaments staged in Delray Beach, where it lasted a year before moving to Boca West for the 1986 tournament.

Key Biscayne would become the long-term venue for the event in 1987, but an unsuccessful bid to upgrade Crandon Park led to a move to the Hard Rock Stadium in 2019.

A host of stars have won this event with Andre Agassi and Novak Djokovic (six titles) the joint-most successful in the men's tournament, while Serena Williams has won the women's title on a remarkable eight occasions.

Seven male players have won the Sunshine double - Indian Wells and Miami in the same season - with Roger Federer the most recent winner of both in 2017, while four women have achieved the feat, including Iga Swiatek in 2022.
