The world of tennis changes coasts in the United States for the dispute of one of the most prestigious events in the history of this sport. This Miami Open 2025 is presented full of incentives and mysteries to solve, such as seeing if Carlos Alcaraz regains his best level or if Novak Djokovic is capable of offering a competitive version. The order of the seeds will be crucial for the draw.

There is no respite in the tennis world. Just a few hours after the resolution of the first Masters 1000 of the season, the cream of the crop of tennis moves to Florida for the dispute of the Miami Open 2025. The changes in the ATP ranking after the events of recent weeks have led to a new order of seeds, which could be critical for the final draw to be held this Monday at 14:30 local time, that is, 19:30h in Spain.

As it already happens in most of the Masters 1000, the Miami Open 2025 will feature a 128-space draw with 96 players, which means that the 32 seeded players will receive a bye in the first round and will be exempt from facing another top player until the third round. The position they hold at the draw is what determines the potential matchups round by round, making it important to review how these possible clashes work.

Djokovic's improvement in the rankings results in not being able to face either Zverev or Alcaraz until the semifinals, defining in the draw which part of the bracket the Serbian will be placed in. Additionally, the recent champion in Indian Wells, Jack Draper, poses a potential opponent in the quarterfinals for any of the top four seeds, emerging as a serious threat to Sascha, Carlitos, Fritz, or Novak.

Regarding potential matchups of favorites in the round of 16, Shelton and Tiafoe seem to be the major threats, but it is in the third round where opponents could cause some surprises for any of the top eight players in the world. On a fast court like Florida's, profiles such as Berrettini, Mpetshi-Perricard, Lehecka, Shapovalov, or Michelsen can create many issues and defy all predictions. In conclusion, great excitement lies ahead in this Miami Open 2025.
