Top seed Carlos Alcaraz will face off against rising Brazilian star Joao Fonseca in a must-see second-round battle at the Miami Open presented by Itau. This exciting first meeting between the two athletes is scheduled to commence no earlier than 7 p.m. local time.
Currently ranked World No. 1, Alcaraz heads to Miami boasting an impressive 16-1 season record, as highlighted by the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. The Spaniard is eager to bounce back after experiencing his first defeat of 2026, falling to Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals at Indian Wells.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Fonseca, now ranked World No. 39, is one of the ATP Tour’s quickest ascenders. He recently triumphed over Fabian Marozsan with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in the first round of the tournament. After claiming titles in Buenos Aires and Basel last year, Fonseca pushed Jannik Sinner to the brink in two closely contested sets at the BNP Paribas Open last week, where Sinner ultimately captured the title.
The countdown to the eagerly awaited Alcaraz-Fonseca showdown has begun, as both players are set to feature in Friday’s evening session at Hard Rock Stadium.
