A significant mess will be made at the Miami Open 2026 on the first day of competition. The announcement from the American tournament has left many stunned: the use of the Central Court, built in the Hard Rock Stadium, is not possible due to weather conditions and heavy rains delaying work in different areas of the court, which means it won't be ready for Wednesday, the first day of the final draw for both men and women. The tournament plans to use it on Thursday, but it's not guaranteed either, as rain is expected to persist. Do we see trouble ahead?

Most of the circuit would exchange its place for that of Jessica Pegula, although she often wishes she had a different entry in this scenario. And why would a player who has been in the top 10 in the world for so long be dissatisfied? Because she is aware of the difficulty of competing against rivals like Aryna Sabalenka or Elena Ryakina. She made this clear during the Media Day of the Miami Open 2026.

"They are playing incredible tennis right now, rightly being the top two in the world. I have been there, very close, but it is tough. They are tall, big, and have powerful serves, which can be frustrating for someone who is not as tall. Nevertheless, I still believe there are things I can do very well, and I will continue to improve to put pressure on them," stated the American.

Jéssica Bouzas has put an end to her journey on the North American tour without the expected results. The goal was to revitalize a start of the year in which she has not yet managed to win two matches in a tournament: she came close in Indian Wells, where she defeated Beatriz Haddad Maia before losing in the second round; in the Miami Open 2026, however, she succumbed in her debut against the British Katie Boulter, who sought revenge after the Galician took the victory in their first encounter at the US Open 2024. The match was marked by equality, but perhaps Jessica felt a lack of confidence in crucial moments, eventually losing in two sets (7-6(9), 6-4). For now, she remains in the top 50, although she will aim to gain more points on the clay court swing.

Nicolas Jarry and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova top the bill of the Madrid Grand Prix, combining the Madrid ATP Challenger 75 and the WTA 125 Open Villa de Madrid, both to be held together from April 5 to 12 at the Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. Besides the Chilean, the men's draw also features the presence of Aleksandar Vukic, currently ranked 93 in the world, and Spanish players like Alejandro Moro, Carlos Taberner, Pablo Llamas, and Miguel Damas, among many others. In the women's draw, Mayar Sheriff will return to defend her champion title from the previous edition, alongside Oksana Selekhmeteva (ranked 71st in the WTA), Simona Waltert (88th in the world ranking), Anna Blinkova (92nd), and Francesca Jones (93rd).

The Miami Open 2026 women's tournament starts this Tuesday, March 17, with first-round matches in the lower part of the draw. Therefore, it is expected that players located in that area, such as Iga Swiatek, Alexandra Eala, or Victoria Mboko, will debut on Thursday, March 19, while Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, located in the upper part, will do so on Friday, March 18.

After witnessing the first matches of the preliminary phase in this Miami Open 2026, this Tuesday we will already have the opportunity to enjoy the first matches of the main draw. However, only from the women's draw, although looking at the schedule, it really is tempting to visit more than one court to see the top players in action. On the main court, some women like Beatriz Haddad Maia, Katerina Siniakova, or Ajla Tomljanovic will parade, but what truly interests us is the plans on Court 2, with that duel between Jessica Bouzas and Katie Boulter. Below, we provide the complete schedule so you don't miss any details.

A tough setback in the plans of Emma Raducanu, who had high expectations for this Miami Open 2026. However, the British player won't be able to compete as she's feeling effects of a virus contracted a few weeks ago in the Middle East. She will lose a significant amount of points as she was defending last year's quarterfinals.

Aryna Sabalenka continues determined to make history. The Belarusian keeps adding significant titles to her personal collection, and her debut in the desert as the champion of Indian Wells 2026 has placed her squarely in a list of true privileged players. The world number one now has 10 WTA 1000 category titles, becoming the ninth player to reach this milestone, on par with legends like Justine Henin and Victoria Azarenka. Serena Williams' record of 23 titles remains far away, but in Miami, she could catch up to Lindsey Davenport and Iga Swiatek, the next level with 11 crowns.
