The number of players to withdraw from the 2026 Miami Open has risen to 20 across both the men’s and women’s singles draws on the eve of the tournament.
By Saturday, 13 players had pulled out of the combined ATP/WTA 1000 tournament in South Florida, with Holger Rune, Barbora Krejcikova and Marketa Vondrousova the biggest names to withdraw.
Since then, five women and two men have joined the list, with Novak Djokovic — the world No 3 and a six-time Miami Open champion — the most notable.
Four players have withdrawn since the draws were made, with Emma Raducanu one of three women to pull out following the women’s singles draw on Sunday.
Both the ATP and WTA tournaments in Miami feature 96 players. Main draw action at the 2026 Miami Open will begin today (Tuesday) with the women’s singles event, while the men’s tournament will get underway on Wednesday.
This will be the 41st edition of the tournament, which has been staged at the Hard Rock Stadium since 2019.
Aryna Sabalenka and Jakub Mensik are the reigning Miami Open singles champions, with the duo having each claimed their maiden title at the event last year.
