When players walk into Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open, they pass a plaque bearing four-time US Open champion Billie Jean King's famous words: "Pressure is a privilege." It's a beautiful reminder of the spirit of tennis, and this year's US Open competitors certainly took it to heart. While it was their privilege to play under the pressure of the world’s largest tennis stadium, it was the viewers’ prize to watch it all unfold.

The Miami Open presented by Itaú announced a premium upgrade to Stadium Court. For the 2027 tournament, the court inside Hard Rock Stadium will offer two incredible corner seating options for fans seeking to catch world-class tennis in action, marking the first major change to Stadium Court since the Masters 1000 first took place in Miami Gardens in 2019. Named “The Pavilions,” the new structures cater to the tournament’s growing demand, offering fans a more immersive viewing experience by bringing them closer to the court.

It's been 23 years since Andy Roddick won his first and only Grand Slam at the 2003 US Open. No American man has won the US Open since, or any Slam for that matter. But the tides are shifting. This year’s North American hard-court swing has been the most promising sign of the end of the decades-long curse in recent memory. 

In one calendar year, professional tennis hosts four Grand Slam events, nine ATP and ten WTA 1000-level events, in addition to dozens of tournaments in between to create a near-constant cycle of competition. Hidden beneath the grind is an exclusive race reserved for the sport’s elite: the quest for the world No. 1 ranking.

The tour hasn’t been on a hard court since March. In fact, the last major hard-court event was the Miami Open presented by Itaú, which served as a classic display of high-quality tennis and a quick preview of the portion of the season we now enter. The tour returns to North America for a hard-court swing that leads all the way up to the commencement of the US Open, the year’s final Grand Slam event.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the Miami Open offers six different packages designed around how fans actually follow professional tennis. No matter which option you choose, you'll keep the same seats from the opening rounds to championship weekend.

Qualifying is done, the draw is on the wall, and on Monday the most storied tournament in tennis begins its main draw. Wimbledon 2026 starts next week, and before the first serve, here’s what to know.

João Fonseca, the 19-year-old Brazilian sensation, defeated Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller under the lights at Court Philippe-Chatrier, producing the biggest victory of his career and perhaps the defining upset of the tournament so far.

As the tennis calendar settles into the clay-court swing, April has already delivered a compelling mix of standout results and shifting momentum. With the season building toward the year’s second Grand Slam at the French Open, this month’s tournaments have offered an early indication of who the contenders are for Paris.

Only off-and-on again rain delays could slow down Jannik Sinner from winning his second Miami Open title and cap off a truly historic four-week run in which he became the eighth man to pull off the demanding Sunshine Double. But no man has ever won successive Masters 1000 series events in Indian Wells and Miami without dropping a set until Sinner. Sinner, world No. 2 but closing fast on No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, is the last man to join the Sunshine Double list since Roger Federer in 2017.
