However, for all her dominance at Indian Wells, only four women in history have ever done the 'Sunshine Double' since the events began being played back-to-back on the WTA calendar.
Steffi Graff, Kim Clijsters, and Victoria Azarenka were the only women to complete the gear in the same year until 2022. Two years ago, Swiatek went back-to-back, but it is not a straightforward task ahead of her here.
Players often must grind it out in the sweltering heat during these events, and given the fact that players must play matches daily en route to the finals – unlike a Grand Slam - it becomes extremely difficult to win these tournaments in such extreme and unique conditions.
For this reason, Swiatek's price looks short enough, and one we are happy to swerve despite her being the obvious call on recent form.
There is significant British interest in the women's draw, and for the first time in a long time, the focus is not exclusively on Emma Raducanu.
British number one Katie Boulter will be revved up and full of confidence, fresh off the back of lifting her first WTA 500 title at the San Diego Open.
The Leicester-based right-hander took down four seeds en route to silverware, including Beatriz Haddad Maia, Donna Vekic, Emma Navarro and Marta Kostyuk.
She is up to world No.27 – and at the age of 27 seems to be in her physical prime right now. The question is can she shine on the big stage once again.
Raducanu has received a wild card to the main draw. The 21-year-old did OK at Indian Wells, eventually losing to Arnya Sabalenka.
There is no shame in losing to the reigning Australian Open champ, and speaking on court afterwards, Sabalenka said: "It was a tough match. She (Raducanu) played unbelievable tennis."
In 2021 Raducanu produced one of the greatest sporting shocks of all time when she went on 'the run' and beat Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in the final of the US Open.
Playing in just her second ever Grand Slam, the then 18-year-old from Kent won all 20 sets she played in qualifying and then the main draw to become the first British woman to win a major singles title since Virginia Wade lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 1977.
It has been a tough slog since due to injury, coping with increased media attention and various changes in terms of her team, but there are green shoots of hope that Raducanu could be getting back to something like her best.
Sabalenka, meanwhile, might feel she has a point to prove in Miami. The world number two fell to a surprise defeat to Emma Navarro in the fourth round of Indian Wells.
Not for the first time in her career, it was her serve that let her down against Navarro. She has the tools to beat anyone on her day, and while she always seems to be there or there abouts, consistency remains a problem for the Belarussian.
Coco Gauff's price is interesting. Gauff turned 20 last week, and yet seems to have already been around for an age, largely due to her spectacular Wimbledon debut as a 15-year-old.
In her main draw debut at SW19 – playing as a qualifier - she upset five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in straight sets and was immediately labelled a 'can't miss' prospect by an expectant media.
Gauff is one of the best athletes on tour. She has an enormous first serve, her backhand is generally faultless, and she is a quick and intelligent player with plenty of variety.
Her forehand – once a bit of a weakness – is much more consistent these days and her defence and ability to chase down seemingly lost causes is one of her biggest strengths.
She made the semi-finals at Indian Wells last week, and her game looks in good shape. In that semi, Greece's Maria Sakkari let a 5-2 second-set lead slip but regrouped to beat third seed Gauff 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-2.
That defeat will sting for Coco, but her strong tennis IQ and strategic approach to the game mean she has a real shout in Miami and she is the player we are happy to side with in Florida.
Best Bet: Coco Gauff to win the Miami Open at 8/1
