Miami Open History
In the 1960s, many famous tennis players such as Pancho Gonzalez, Pancho Segura, Frank Sedgman, Jack Kramer, and Butch Buchholz came up with an idea to organize an international tennis tournament in Miami.
The Miami Open tennis tournament was founded by former player Butch Buchholz in 1985. Initially, the main aim was to make the event the first major tournament of the year, because at that time the Australian Open was held in December.
Tournament founder Buchholz wanted all top players to play in the Miami Open tennis tournament. He approached the ATP and WTA with the same idea, and both organizations agreed, since then many top players began playing in the event.
In 1985, the Miami Open was held at Laver’s International Tennis Resort in Delray Beach, it moved to Boca Raton in 1986. From 1987 to 2018, the tournament was held in Key Biscayne. In 2019, the tournament was moved to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Tim Mayotte is the first champion in tournament history. Novak Djokovic and Andre Agassi are the most successful male players in tournament history, they both won the event six times.
