Both the women’s and men’s tournaments belong to the highest category below the Grand Slams. For the WTA it is a so-called Premier Mandatory Event, for the men it belongs to the ATP Masters 1000 Series.

Both series bring the winner resp. the winner receives 1000 points each for the world ranking list. For comparison: Grand Slam tournament victories are worth 2000 points each.

At the Miami Open, as at the four Grand Slam tournaments, the prize money in the men’s and women’s competition is identical.

All in all, the field of participants at the Miami Open is very prominent. However, some top men like Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray or Stan Wawrinka have to fit due to injury. From a German perspective, Philipp Kohlschreiber and Florian Mayer also had to follow suit. From a German perspective, only Alexander Zverev and successor Maximilian Marterer will be present.

Since Laura Siegemund cancelled, only two Germans, Angelique Kerber and Julia Görges, are also in the ladies’ group.
