World No 1 Iga Swiatek was unable to build on her victory at Indian Wells after a fourth-round exit, but reigning men’s champion Medvedev is still aiming to defend his title.
Medvedev and Swiatek were headlining the field, but one player who is not involved in Florida is six-time champion Novak Djokovic.
He has played just three times this year – representing Serbia in the United Cup, reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open, and falling in just the third round of Indian Wells.
“At this stage of my career, I’m balancing my private and professional schedule,” Djokovic posted on X. “I’m sorry that I won’t experience some of the best and most passionate fans in the world.”
The 24-time Grand Slam champion suffered a shock third-round loss to 123rd-ranked Italian Luka Nardi at Indian Wells.
Petra Kvitova, the women’s champion in 2023, is not playing after recently announcing that she is due to give birth later this year.

Katie Boulter was the last left standing, but her defeat in the fourth round means British interest has now ended, with two-time champion Murray, Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper and Dan Evans all knocked out earlier.
Harriet Dart and Heather Watson were both eliminated in qualifying while Jodie Burrage and Liam Broady were ruled out of the tournament because of injury.
Emma Raducanu pulled out on the eve of the tournament due to a lower back problem.
