Once dominated by the biggest names in the sport, the Miami Open is as wide open as it's ever been this year. The withdrawals of Rafael Nadal and reigning champion Ashleigh Barty have added a sense that a surprise winner could be on the cards.
That opens up a huge opportunity for newly-crowned Indian Wells champ Swiatek, top seed Aryna Sabalenka, Paula Badosa, and US Open champ Emma Raducanu in the women's draw. In the men's competition, it's reigning champion Hubert Hurkacz, top seed Daniil Medvedev, world No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas and, of course, Fritz, who will be serving for glory.
Also in the mix are wild cards Andy Murray and Naomi Osaka. Aussie Open champions Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis are being let loose on Miami Gardens too, having been granted a doubles wild card. Here's how you can watch a 2022 Miami Open live stream from wherever you are with a VPN.
How to watch Miami Open: live stream tennis in the UK
Try Amazon Prime FREE for 30-days

Play typically gets underway at 3pm GMT, extending into the early hours.
You can live stream the tennis from your phone or tablet or any smart device with the Amazon Prime Video app.

Watch a Miami Open live stream from outside your country
For broadcast and streaming details in more tennis-mad countries like the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, just scroll down the page - everything you need to know is there, including details of who is showing the tennis.
But if you try to watch your domestic coverage from anywhere outside your home country, you'll soon find a problem - geo-blocking. That's where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for sports fans all over the world.
By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home.
