The Miami Open began in 1985 as the brainchild of Butch Buchholz, conceived as a two-week, large-draw event sized closer to a major than a typical tour stop — the reason it earned its long-standing "fifth Slam" billing. It anchors the back half of the Sunshine Double, the North American hard-court fortnight that opens at Indian Wells and closes in Florida before the tour pivots to European clay. For most of its life it was played on the slow hard courts of Key Biscayne; since 2019 it has lived at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, the Dolphins' NFL home repurposed into a sprawling tennis campus.
The character is unmistakably its own: humid, heavy, often windy March conditions that drag rallies out and reward fitness as much as firepower. The stadium-bowl footprint — a show court built inside a football arena, with practice and field courts ringing the concourse — gives it a festival sprawl no other Masters 1000 matches. It plays slower than the indoor swing events like Rotterdam, demanding patience from the big servers.
The honor roll skews toward the sport's current order. Jannik Sinner won the 2026 edition, beating Jiri Lehecka, a title that followed his 2024 run past Grigor Dimitrov. The 2025 final delivered the breakout beat: Jakub Mensik defeated Novak Djokovic in straight tiebreaks, 7-6(4), 7-6(4), denying Djokovic — a six-time Miami champion across his career — another crown. Daniil Medvedev took the 2023 title over Sinner, an early marker in their rivalry.
Now a 96-draw, 12-day Masters 1000, Miami enters its 2026 edition with Sinner defending and Mensik the most recent first-time champion to break the establishment's grip.
