Strange decision made by the Miami Open 2026 regarding the first day of competition in the men's final draw. The order of play for this Wednesday, March 18, is dedicated to the top part of the draw, where Carlos Alcaraz is placed... but the match between Joao Fonseca and Fabian Marozsan, from which Alcaraz's second-round opponent will emerge, is not listed. The reason?

We can only speculate, but perhaps it has to do with the fact that tomorrow's matches will not be played on the Central Court, where James Blake has indicated that all matches involving the Brazilian will take place due to the massive presence of Brazilian fans, as it is not yet ready for public access due to the recent rains that have besieged Miami. Brazilian or Hungarian players will have to compete on consecutive days; those debuting tomorrow include players like Paula Badosa, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Grigor Dimitrov, Matteo Berrettini, and Roberto Bautista, who completes the Spanish presence with his match against James Duckworth.
