(Miami Gardens, FL) -- The tennis courts at Hard Rock Stadium are expected to be packed Thursday after yesterday's non-stop rain scrapped all play at the Miami Open.

Today 50 matches are scheduled including those canceled yesterday featuring former Miami Open Champions Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens in first round action.

Stadium Court opens for the first time with 2nd seed Iga Swiatek in the second round and Brazilian star Joao Fonseca in first round matches.
