The fact that places Miami as the tournament with the most surprises in recent years
The 2026 Miami Open has experienced a seed exodus before the round of 16 rarely seen. In fact, since these tournaments were created in 1990, only on two other occasions has a similar situation occurred, where only 3 of the top 16 seeds made it to the fourth round alive. The first time this happened was in Monte Carlo 2000, and the second in Cincinnati in 2003. It took 23 years for something similar to happen again.
📊 Only 3 of the first 16 seeds have qualified for the round of 16 in Miami. Since the creation of the Masters 1000 in 1990, this is only the 3rd time such a bloodbath has been recorded:
