As the world’s top-ranked player, Carlos Alcaraz consistently faces opponents who raise their game to deliver career-best performances. This challenging dynamic ultimately led to his exit from the Miami Open this past Sunday. The young Spaniard, who had jokingly mentioned at Indian Wells two weeks prior, “sometimes I just get tired of playing Roger Federer every round,” once again encountered an inspired opponent. He fell to American Sebastian Korda in a closely contested three-set match, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
