Last year’s champion Andy Murray enters the tournament ranked number 3 in the world. Despite losing to Federer in this year’s Australian Open final, Murray has a great chance to defend his title in Miami.
On the women’s side, besides Serena Williams, a major contender for the title is Victoria Azarenka an Internet betting favorite. The currently #7 ranked Azarenka is the defending champion, as she beat Williams here in the final last year. Azarenka will remember her tough 3 set loss to Serena Williams at this year’s Australian Open, and will seek some revenge on the Miami hard courts.
