Carlos Alcaraz will begin his bid for the rare ‘Sunshine Double’ when he steps out on court for his second-round contest at the Miami Open later this week.
The Spaniard picked up a second consecutive Indian Wells trophy after triumphing over Daniil Medvedev in the summit clash 7-6 (5), 6-1. Prior to that, he ended Jannik Sinner’s 16-match win streak in the semifinals.
With a first title under his belt since Wimbledon last year, Alcaraz will now be able to play with even more freedom in Miami, where he is top seed.
With no Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal to worry about, the main opposition that the top seed faces comes from Sinner once again. Medvedev, the other big name in the draw, is notably all the way across in the bottom half of the draw.
Carlos Alcaraz's next match
Carlos Alcaraz received a bye in the opening round. The recently crowned Indian Wells champion will thus open his 2024 Miami Open campaign with a second-round encounter against either Alexander Vukic or Roberto Carballes Baena.
The first projected seed that the Spaniard may square off against is Borna Coric in the third round.
