In the early morning of April 4th, Beijing time, the final of the ATP Miami Masters was staged. The 18-year-old Spanish teenager Alcaraz finally defeated Norway’s Rude with a score of 2-0 (7-5, 6-4) to win the championship. It is worth mentioning that the Miami Championship is Alcaraz’s first Masters championship in his personal career. It was also his third championship in his career and his second title of the season.
Throughout the game, Alcaraz ushered in an outbreak under the unfavorable situation of being behind 1-4 in the first set, and successfully reversed the score to lock the score at 7-5. In the second set that followed, he didn’t give his opponent any chance, won the next set 6-4 and won the championship with a total score of 2-0.
After winning the championship, the Spaniard rushed to the stands and hugged his coach Ferrero for the first time. Due to the death of his father, Ferrero did not accompany Alcaraz to participate in the competition, but it was not until the final that Ferrero suddenly landed on the field, which undoubtedly gave the latter a shot at winning the championship. Ferrero also shed tears of excitement after the hug.
In this game, Alcaraz broke many records. Alcaraz became the youngest men’s singles champion in Miami’s 37-year history and the first Spanish player to win the tournament. At the same time, at the age of 18 years and 333 days, he became the third youngest Masters champion after Zhang Depei and Nadal. In addition, Ruder also became the first Norwegian player to reach the final of the Masters.
