Carlos Alcaraznumber 2 in the world, will face the November 29th in American Tommy Paul in a ‘FanFest’ exhibition that is expected to bring together more than 30,000 fans in Mexico City.
The show starts at Plaza de Toros México with a fight between Greek Maria Sakkarisixth in the WTA classification, and the Danish Caroline Wozniackiformer world number one.
Alcaraz, this year’s Wibledon champion, and Paul have met four times with two wins each. The Murcian won the Masters 1,000 in Miami and Cincinnati, both this year. The American won in Canada in 2022 and 2023.
A year ago at Fanfest, Rafael Nadal, also a Spaniard, beat Norwegian Casper Ruud 7-6(7), 6-4 in front of more than 30,000 fans.
The Greek Sakkari will return to Mexico for Fanfest, after achieving her biggest victory as a professional on Saturday in the country, winning the Guadalajara Masters 1,000 final 7-5, 6-3 over American Caroline Dolehide.
Now María will face Wozniacki, who returned to the circuit after becoming a mother and after overcoming health problems.
The organizers of the party explained that the idea is to maintain the event every year and raise its level, even if it has a lot of entertainment.
This year, Mexico will host the WTA Finals and at the beginning of 2024 it will host the Los Cabos tournament, an ATP 250, and the Acapulco tournament, an ATP 500, in consecutive weeks for the first time.
