RE: Miami Masters 2015

Due to multiple withdrawals, Borna Coric gets a direct entry into main draw.

Something Strange. Miami is only giving one wild card to US players in main draw
and also just one in the qualifying draw. All other wild cards are given to deserving
players from other countries. While I like it, I don't know how this is happening?

That's great news.

How odd. But I like it, too.

Probably because the tournament organizers are more interested in better quality. Good for them.

Well, he did skip 2013 due to having played so much that year, but otherwise, yes, no reason to think he won't play this year.

Mainly because the US isn't as deserving as other countries! I can say that honestly; call me a traitor! US players are truly wanting; look at Davis Cup! It's truly pathetic! And the women will only be marginally better after the Williams' retire! :eyepop :nono :angel:

Was not that when Murray won it; Fed and Rafa skipping it and Novak being taken out by
somebody else.

If I remember well in 2013 Rafa came back after been 7 months due to his knee injury, he didn't play the AO, he started to play in S.America, later he won IW but he skipped Miami to be ready for the clay season, very smart decision
