Excellent job by the kid. Withstood the storm when Ruud came out firing, slowly climbed back into the set and then took over the match w/ his trademark aggressive game. Well done Carlito! Onward and upward. :yahoo:

Carlos Alcaraz,
Youngest ATP Miami winner in history
Third youngest ATP Masters 1000 winner since 1990 (after Chang and Nadal)
First Spanish man to win Miami
New World No 11
18-2 this year so far.
I need to add
Alcaraz is now 2nd in the ATP Race to Turin behind Nadal.....29 points away from the ATP Top 10

I've never seen a player at that age and even older playing so well like Carlos in this tournament. Service, return, drop shots at the net and from the back, righthand and backhand, everything. How far he will go? we'll see how well he will do on clay where he seems to do very good too.

Alcaraz coming in hot. He’s going to be an ugly draw for anyone. Congrats to Carlos for going all the way.

Top seeds are going to be happy he's moving up the rankings with a bullet.

Exactly! What does she expect out of a guy that just played a tennis final? You can sweat like that in Miami just waiting in line at a taco truck. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Great news for Alcaraz: He will be seeded 8th at MC due to Medvedev, Nadal and Matteo being out due to injuries. Being a Top 8 seeded player means he will get a bye, therefore one less match to play.
