A number of tennis stars will continue their preparations to appear in front of fans with Wimbledon tickets when they take to the courts for the Sony Ericsson Open.
The Miami event features the cream of the crop from the men's game, including world number one Roger Federer, Serbian ace Novak Djokovic and British hope Andy Murray.
Meanwhile, the women's half of the draw will feature both Serena and Venus Williams, as well as Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki and Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova.
The event will get underway on March 24th 2010 and could be a good opportunity for tennis fans with Wimbledon tickets to gauge the form of their favourite players ahead of the SW19 tournament.
Australian Open finalist and seven-time Grand Slam champion Justine Henin will be one of the big names to grace the court on the opening day as she faces off against Jill Craybas from the US.
David Nalbandian, the former world number three and a previous Wimbledon semi-finalist, is also set to feature in day one of the Open.
