Since the 2019 edition of the Miami Open is the first in the Hard Rock Stadium, WTA and ATP aces Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic took part in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday.
Petra Kvitova was honored by the WTA Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship Award and Naomi Osaka accepted her WTA World Number One trophy (notice how the two-time Grand Slam champion saved her feet from heels until the photoshoot). By the way, Naomi’s elder sister Mari is also in the draw, as a wildcard, and is scheduled to play fellow wildcard Whitney Osuigwe in the first round on Thursday.
