Which British players will be competing at Miami Open 2023?
Singles
Having endured her most successful run at a tournament since her 2021 US Open win at BNP Paribas Indian Wells, Emma Raducanu will be hoping to carry her momentum over from the desert to Miami.
The British No.1 clocked wins against world No.21 Magda Linette and world No.13 Beatriz Haddad Maia at Indian Wells, where she displayed dominant tennis that led her to Grand Slam victory before bowing out in the Round of 16 to world No.1 Iga Swiatek.
British No.2 Harriet Dart will be heading to the qualifying rounds as she competes for a spot in the main draw, while Jodie Burrage, Heather Watson and Katie Swan also feature in the qualifiers.
British No.1 Cam Norrie enters the event in Miami off the back of another strong run at Indian Wells, where the Brit made it to the quarter-final before bowing out to American Frances Tiafoe in straight sets. Last year, Norrie made it to the Round of 16 where he bowed out to eventual runner up Casper Ruud and will be looking to go further in the tournament this year as he continues his fine form.
Joining him will be World No.26 Dan Evans and Andy Murray who both lost out in Indian Wells to fellow countryman Jack Draper - who has had to withdraw from the Miami Open due to injury. Kyle Edmund is also set to compete in Miami and faces a first round match-up against world No.64 Yibing Wu.
Doubles
Last year’s runners up Neal Skupski will be leading the charge for the British doubles alongside Dutch partner Wesley Koolhof. The British, Dutch duo won three Masters 1000 titles in 2022 and will be looking to go one step further this year to lift the Miami Open title for the first time in their careers.
Sixth seeds Lloyd Glasspool and Finland’s Harri Heliovaara will be looking to capitalise on their desert-success as they go in pursuit of a fourth career title together. Meanwhile Joe Salisbury will once again partner Rajeev Ram and Jamie Murray and Michael Venus will come together in a bid to win their second title of the year.
