Williams, who has been out since the US Open last year due to a knee injury, has stated that participating in Indian Wells for the Sunshine Double is a "big goal" for her WTA Tour comeback in 2024.

Williams last played in Miami in 2021, while Wozniacki last competed in 2019 -- the tournament's first edition at Hard Rock Stadium following a four-decade stint on the island of Key Biscayne -- due to different ailments and a three-year retirement that concluded last summer, respectively.

Raducanu, the 2021 US Open winner, will be making only her third visit to Miami, having previously become the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam singles championship in New York three summers ago. She advanced to the second round in her 2022 tournament debut.

The final wildcards for singles, doubles, and qualification will be released in the following weeks. The Miami Open will run from March 17 to 31.
