Although he is still the number one racket in the world, Carlos Alcaraz will face not only Taylor Fritz but also the home crowd against him in the quarter-final match in Miami.
Young Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz is still in the game to stay in first place ATP list! He defeated a local competitor in the fourth round of the tournament in Miami Tomija Polo 6:4, 6:4. In both sets, he managed to break once and thus routinely reach the quarterfinals.

He was better than Holger Rune in two sets 6:3, 6:4 and thus passed. They are in that part of the draw in the second quarter-final Emil Rusuvori and Janik Siner.
On the other side of the draw, there were many surprises, so that’s right Karen Hačanov ousted the second seed Stefanosa Cicipase. The Russian was better with 7:6, 6:4 and in the quarterfinals he will meet with the better of the duel Fransiska Čerundela and Lorenc Sonega.
