After over 30 years at Crandon Park, Key Biscayne, the Miami Open has been moved to the Hard Rock Stadium, home of NFL side Miami Dolphins.
The new complex boasts a 14,000 seater Stadium Court, 30 permanent show and practice courts, a state-of-the-art shade canopy, four HD video boards and multiple culture, food, art and entertainment facilities.
The players have largely given a thumbs up to the facilities but on Saturday, two men’s players were hit by injury trouble.
Great Britain’s Dan Evans was a set up on Denis Shapovalov but his game fell away in the final two sets as struggled with an ankle injury, which required on court treatment.
Then a few hours later, Stan Wawrinka, who has had surgery on his knee twice in the last 18 months, also needed treatment having made a good start to his match against Filip Krajinovic.
Wawrinka won the first set 7-5 but his level dipped significantly in the second set, which he lost 6-2.
At the changeover after the first game of the third set, Wawrinka spoke to the umpire who then called the physio because the Swiss was struggling with ankle and knee problems.
Two points into the next game, Wawrinka struck a backhand then immediately stopped playing and walked to his seat.
A further call was made for the physio, who eventually arrived, spoke to Wawrinka about his problems and he then resumed play.
Amazon Prime pundit Sam Smith said: “He is clutching the same part of his foot as Dan Evans.
“These courts are really tough and they are so abrasive.
“The way players like to move now, it is not really conducive to that.
“These might be the roughest hard courts on tour.
“We’ve seen a succession of foot problems.”
Wawrinka would eventually lose the match in a third set tiebreak, with his movement appearing to be heavily restricted.
Krajinovic will play the winner of Roger Federer vs Radu Albot in the third round on Monday.
