Miami Open 2018: Roger Federer and co will NOT be returning after announcement

It has been announced that the Miami Open will be moving away from the traditional home in Key Biscayne to the home of the Miami Dolphins in 2019.

The current venue has hosted the joint ATP and WTA Tour tournament since 1987 but owner IMG says it will be the final one this year.

In 2019 it will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in the north of the city and construction has already started on getting the facilities ready.

There had even been talk that the Miami Open could be taken out of the city altogether but new plans ensure that won't be the case.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams are both competing this week.

Williams said: "The Miami Open has been a part of Miami's culture for as long as I can remember and it's a tournament that is very special to me and my family.

"I've enjoyed some of my best career moments in Miami thanks to the amazing tournament team and the supportive Miami fans. I am thrilled the Miami Open is staying in Miami, where it belongs."

IMG co-president Mark Shapiro added: "The Miami Open belongs in Miami.

"While we're looking forward to creating the new Miami Open experience at Hard Rock Stadium, our priority is to make the last edition of the Key Biscayne event the best it's ever been."
