After defending his Indian Wells crown, Carlitos will surely have his sights sets on completing the Sunshine Double. He reached the semi-final stage in the last edition but was stopped in his tracks by Jannik Sinner.
In the current edition, he is the top seed and in the absence of Novak Djokovic, is leading the assault. With a stacked roster, it might not be a cake walk but if his fitness permits, Alcaraz will surely be the front-runner to triumph. A successful run in this tournament could see him inch closer to reclaiming the world No. 1 crown, adding further motivation to his campaign
Carlos Alcaraz’s next match – Miami Open quarter-final vs Grigor Dimitrov
Like everyone before, Lorenzo Musetti folded against Carlitos at the Miami Open. The young Spaniard has yet to drop a set at the Hard Rock Stadium and will be looking to continue that streak in the quarter-final against Grigor Dimitrov.
It will be the fifth meeting between Alcaraz and Dimitrov, the Spaniard leading 3-1. However, it was Dimitrov who claimed a 2-1 victory in their last meeting at the 2023 Shanghai Masters. The Bulgarian ace continues to give dogged performances with two of his three wins in Miami coming courtesy of the deciding set.
Carlos Alcaraz’s 2023 campaign
It has been a sensational year for Alcaraz on the court. Despite a late start due to injury, he has continued to pile on victories and silverware success. His team has also limited his tournament appearances, he has gone deep in each and every competition he has participated in.
It all began in Buenos Aires, where he eased his to the finals and triumphed over Cameron Norrie in straight sets. In his next outing in Rio de Janeiro, the British ace exacted revenge after an epic three-setter. Alcaraz took the lead but could not stop the resurgent Norrie from taking the next two sets.
He continued his form in Indian Wells. After overcoming Felix Auger-Aliassima in the quarter-final and semi-final against Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz made little work of an in-form Daniil Medvedev. Like in South America, one of his victims stood tall and ended his dreams of the Sunshine Double. Sinner’s task was not easy as he overcame the world number 1 in a three-set battle.
What followed next was one epic performance after another. Alcaraz defended his Barcelona Open title with ease, none of his rivals able to take a set off him. In the Madrid Masters, he romped to title success but not without hiccups. Only Emil Ruusuvuori and Jan-Lennard Struff, his rivals at the start and conclusion of the campaign in the Spanish capital, managed to take a set off him.
In Rome he struggled to give his best, seeing his campaign come to an end at the quarter-final stage. It was an indication of what was to come as Djokovic eased past him in the French Open semi-finals. He suspect physical conditioning came to the fore and the Serbian ace did not let up.
Not to have the clay court results keep him down, the 20-year-old was focused on the grass court swing. The Cinch Championships was claimed for the first time of asking before making a historic run at the Wimbledon Championships. Alcaraz steamrolled his rivals on his way to the final, setting up a historic battle with Djokovic.
Novak had the first two Grand Slams in his back pocket and was readying for a calendar slam if he would triumph here. What followed was a to-and-fro battle. In the end, Alcaraz’s resilience paid off and we would spoil Djokovic’s plans. In doing s, he claimed his second Grand Slam.
Alcaraz’s focus was firmly on conquering the North American hardcourt swing. The first stop was Toronto, where he reached the quarter-finals after beating Hubert Hurkacz. Tommy Paul had no plans of being pushed aside and triumphed in three sets to knock him out.
Seething with a vengeance, Alcaraz arrived in Cincinnati, his final stop before the US Open. Paul was made to pay and so were Jordan Thompson, Max Purcell and Hubert Hurkacz. However, Djokovic had his own plans in the final. It was vengeance but for the Serbian ace, who came from behind to claim the Western & Southern Open title.
