Video – Drop shots, slices, volleys: Alcaraz and Fonseca delighted the Miami crowd!
Last night, the two prodigies of world tennis faced off in an exhibition match in Florida.
On one side, Carlos Alcaraz, six-time Grand Slam champion and world number one. On the other, Joao Fonseca, only 19 years old, and already in the world Top 30.
And to say the least, the spectators at LoanDepot Park, home of the Marlins (baseball), transformed for the occasion, got their money's worth.
Baseline rallies, slices, drop shots, volleys—the two players displayed a full range of skills to ignite the American crowd.
Result: 7-5, 2-6, 10-8 for the Spaniard, who thus concludes his magnificent 2025 season.
