With February set to end, it is that time of the year when the most awaited Miami Open is bound to begin. The 2024 season will create a lot of fuss after presenter Itau confirmed that a record number of tournament partners are expected to associate for this season’s edition.
With this year’s edition featuring the slogan “Where tennis comes to play”, the tournament will kick start from March 17th to 31st at the iconic Hard Rock Stadium. Along with primary partner Itau, brands such as Betway, Cadillac, Emirates, Hologic, Lacoste, Seabourn, and Tecnifibre are expected to partner with the competition this year as well.
Baptist Health will be the official healthcare partner for the competition, which in turn will provide medical assistance to both players and fans throughout the tournament. To make the fan experience even better, Electrolit has been elected as the official sports drink of the tournament. The management has tried to make this competition a huge hit this year and will undoubtedly attract many supporters as well.

The tournament started way back in the year 1985 and there have been many famous tennis stars who have dominated the competition over the years.
