London, England ( newpressrelease ) January 23, 2012 - The 2012 Miami Masters will be streamed live online this year and Live-Tennis.com shows tennis fans around the world how to watch free live coverage of the Sony Ericsson Open on officially licensed streaming sites like bet365.

The Miami Masters is fast approaching, and tennis fans can expect another terrific event here in 2012. Last year's competition provided some breathtaking play, featuring almost all of the biggest names on the ATP and WTA tours.

The tournament will once again return to Crandon Park Tennis Centre in Key Biscayne, which boasts 18 Laykold Cushion Plus courts, ten of which are used for competitive action. The Miami Masters has been known to attract over 300,000 visitors a year and as a Masters event it is one of the most significant on the ATP and WTA calendars. For those who can't make it to Key Biscayne, it will be possible to watch the Miami Masters live at Bet365.

The men's singles was won last season by the unquestionably brilliant Novak Djokovic, who held his nerve to see off top seed Rafael Nadal in a third set tie-breaker. In the women's singles draw, rising star Victoria Azarenka was able to get the better of former world No. 1 Maria Sharapova in straight sets.

In 2012, all of the world's best players will be back on court in Miami this March, provided they stay clear of injury or suspension. Djokovic will be back to defend his title, but he'll once again face daunting competition from the likes of Nadal, the legendary Roger Federer, and Britain's No. 1 Andy Murray.

Outside of the big four, there are plenty of other potential contenders for the title. David Ferrer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych are amongst those who could go the distance here, as are Juan Martin Del Potro, Janko Tipsarevic, Milos Raonic and Andy Roddick provided he recovers from his injury obtained at the Australian Open earlier this year.

The line-up for the women's draw will feature the return of Azarenka alongside five-time champ Serena Williams and a number of other tennis stars such as Kim Clijsters, Maria Sharapova, Na Li, Caroline Wozniacki, Petra Kvitova and Samantha Stosur.

With the men's and women's games in such great health, we can expect twelve days of exhilarating world class tennis. This is regarded as one of the most important competitions of the year, so motivation shouldn't be a concern for anyone involved. The Miami Masters also provides a key opportunity for hard court specialists to rack up ranking points before the tours begin to focus on clay court events in the run up to the French Open.

For anyone with an interest in tennis, it will be worth keeping an eye on the live action at the Miami Masters live. The 2012 edition of this event has the makings of a great competition and anyone who chooses to watch is in for a treat.
