SLAM HISTORYMiami Open presented by Itau
The tournament was founded by former player Earl "Butch" BUCHHOLZ in 1985, 40 years ago. In 1987, the event moved to its current home in Key Biscayne. In 1989, a severe knee injury suffered in a car accident less than two hours after a semifinal match knocked Thomas MUSTER out of the championship match, and the title was awarded to Ivan LENDL.
In 1999, Butch Buchholz announced that his family sold the tournament to IMG. In 2006, the Hawk-Eye system was introduced on the Stadium court and later utilized in the United States at the US Open Series events and the US Open. In 2012, Indian tennis veteran Leander PAES became only the 24th player in the ATP World Tour history to win 50 doubles titles. The winner of both tournaments - in Indian Wells and Miami, in one year becomes the owner of an outstanding achievement - the Sunshine Double. Only seven men - Jim COURIER, Michael CHANG, Pete SAMPRAS, Marcelo RIOS, Andre AGASSI, Roger FEDERER and Novak DJOKOVIC have done this.
In 2020, the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
