Who won the 2025 Miami Open?

Jakub Mensik and Aryna Sabalenka enter the 2026 Miami Open as the defending men's and women's singles champions respectively.

Mensik stunned Novak Djokovic in the final to become the lowest-ranked winner in the tournament's history - world number 54 at the time - while Sabalenka bested Jessica Pegula in the women's showpiece event.

Who is playing at the Miami Open 2026?

All of the expected big-hitters - Draper, Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz - will be going for glory in the men's competition.

Cameron Norrie will also be flying the flag high for Great Britain and is looking good for a seeded spot at the tournament, but Holger Rune will play no part in Miami due to injury.

On the women's side, Sabalenka will have to fend off all of Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula and Amanda Anisimova to retain her title in Florida.

British number one Emma Raducanu could have a shot at revenge against the latter after her Indian Wells humiliation, and she is joined in the main draw by Sonay Kartal, Francesca Jones and Katie Boulter, who replaced the injured Lois Boisson.
