Swiatek is the #1 player in the world for a reason. The Polish player recently won the Paribas Open where she beat Maria Sakkari. iN 2022, Swiatek completed the Sunshine Double (winning the Paribas and the Miami Open in the same year). Maybe this year, she’ll pull it off again.

While Sabalenka doesn’t have the best track record in Miami, she’s in top shape, entering the last stages at the Dubai Open and Paribas Open.

Coco Gauff is another exciting player to watch. The 20 year old is a Florida native, giving her an edge and likely a desire to win a trophy in her home state. She recently almost reached the final at the Paribas Open and will likely deliver a memorable performance in Miami.
