Miami Gardens, FL – The 2022 Miami Open presented by Itaú will bring collegiate tennis to Hard Rock Stadium on Friday, April 1, when it hosts the University of Miami women’s team dual match versus Ivy League standout Columbia.

The 2022 Miami Open is back with renewed energy

The 14th-ranked Hurricanes and the Lions will take to the courts at 5 pm. The matches will take place on Grandstand and Courts 2-6.

“As a former college player, I am excited we are able to bring collegiate tennis matches to the Miami Open,” said tournament director James Blake. “Our goal is to make this an annual event here in Miami.”

Led by head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews, the program’s all-time winningest coach, the University of Miami has turned into a force nationally, advancing to the NCAA’s Elite Eight in eight of the last 17 tournaments, the seventh-most quarterfinal appearances in the nation during that span. The Hurricanes have also made the Sweet 16 on 13 occasions during that stretch, one of only eight programs to do so. In her 21st year at Miami, Yaroshuk-Tews boasts an overall record of 385-134 (.741) and an ACC career record of 158-45 (.778). Miami is off to a solid start to the season boasting a 8-2 overall record, including a 3-1 mark in the ACC.
