Welcome to Miami, USA! This is the second premier mandatory event of the year and is probably in the most beautiful setting of the four, with the tournament being held on Key Biscayne, a luxurious beachside paradise. Many new teams have emerged as forces to contend with in 2012 while many old favorites have remained dominant as well. Headlining the draw are American veterans, Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond, who are the top seeds. However, their section is arguably the toughest, featuring teams like American Vania King and crafty Romanian Monica Niculescu as well as King's usual partner, Kazakh Yaroslava Shvedova, partnering with her compatriot Galina Voskoboeva as the seventh seeds. The second section is lead by Indian Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina, the third seeds, but another tough team could be fifth-seeded Russians Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova. Meanwhile in the bottom half of the draw, fourth-seeded Czech duo Andrea Hlaváčková and Lucie Hradecká will be hard to beat, but newly-united Argentine wildcards Gisela Dulko and Paola Suárez. With these teams and many more fierce contenders in action, this tournament will surely provide plenty of excitement. Vote now as the Sony Ericsson Open begins!
