Shang, Thiem Among Miami Wild Cards
The Miami Open presented by Itau announced that Zizou Bergs, Taro Daniel, Emilio Nava and Shang Juncheng will join Dominic Thiem as main draw wild cards at the season’s second ATP Masters 1000 event.
The most in-form player of the group is Daniel, who advanced to the quarter-finals in Acapulco as a qualifier before qualifying in Indian Wells and reaching the third round behind an upset of 20th seed Matteo Berrettini.
Nava and Shang competed in the Miami main draw last year, losing in the first round. Bergs will make his Masters 1000 debut.
Thiem will return to Miami for the first time since 2019. The Austrian owns a 7-5 record at the tournament, where he advanced to the quarter-finals in 2015.
Tournament organisers also awarded qualifying wild cards to Benoit Paire, Abdullah Shelbayh, Martin Damm, Learner Tien and Alexander Blockx.
