Carlos Alcaraz, double champion of the Masters 1000 ATP in Indian Wells, will attack the Masters 1000 ATP in Miami from this weekend. He will try to do the demanding ‘Sunshine Double’, chaining both titles. It has two in the California desert, where it has once again proven its hegemony; its record in events in this category was opened on the East Coast, in Miami 2022.
Exempted in the opening round at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, as the first seed, he will debut, next Friday or Saturday, against the winner of the tie between the Australians. Alexander Vukic and Spanish Roberto Carballes.
The draw paints a different picture for Carlos Alcarazwhich eludes the other heavyweights fighting for the Serbian number one Novak Djokovicnot in Miami.
I know I will avoid Italian Jannik Sinner, This time the second seed given the loss of ‘Nole’, but the Russian remained distributed Daniel Medvedev (3), going to the transalpine side, had to be eliminated from the semifinals. They will repeat what was the final in 2023, with a victory for the Muscovite.
Alcaraz made the semifinals in 2023. He defended fewer points than his ranked opponents: 360, compared to Sinner’s 600 and Medvedev’s 1,000. On his way to the final, he will face the Pole in the quarterfinals Hubert Hurkacz or the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrovin the penultimate round he will face the German again Alexander Zverev which he destroyed at Indian Wells, or with the Dane Holger Runewho he hasn’t seen on court since he overwhelmed him at Wimbledon.
Rune used to have a lot of danger, like Czech Jiri Lehecka or the Australian Alex de Minaur.
Alcaraz, opening against Vukic or Carballés, the Croatian can be found in third Coric terminal or in french Gael Monfils, Watch out in the round of 16 if the American ‘gunboat’ appears Ben Shelton, a picture trap. Be careful too Jannik Sinner, who to deal with Frances Tiafoe or Tommy Paul.
The transalpine, who experienced their first defeat in twenty games, lost this season as a victim of Alcaraz, will start against the Argentine Pedro Cachín or a qualifier from the previous stage. If he beats Tiafoe or Paul, he will advance the Russian to the quarterfinals Andrey Rublev or Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The current champion’s career, Daniel Medvedev contains the premiere with the Australian Max Purcell or the always tough Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, then the British Cameron Norrie, a round of 16 with Ugo Humbert and a quarterfinal against the Norwegian Casper Ruud or the American Taylor Fritz.
