1996 Lipton Championships – Men's singles explained

See main article: 1996 Lipton Championships.

Defending champion Andre Agassi won the men's singles tennis title at the 1996 Miami Open, after Goran Ivanišević was forced to retire from the final with the score at 3–0 to Agassi in the first set. The start of the final had already been delayed for 45 minutes while Ivanišević received treatment. Ivanišević had slept awkwardly the night before the final and had woken up that morning with a very stiff neck.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
