Alcaraz takes a scare from Fonseca, but switches to ‘turbo mode’ and wins in Miami

João Fonseca gave Carlos Alcaraz a run for his money, but saw the Spanish player shine in the final stretch of the exhibition match in the US, ultimately overcoming him by 2 sets to 1. The match was friendly in nature and did not count towards the ATP ranking. The ‘Miami Invitational’ match was marked by a friendly atmosphere, great points, and a back-and-forth battle. The Brazilian started by losing the first set (5-7), but fought back and leveled the score after a magical second set (6-2). The 19-year-old even seemed poised for victory after opening a 5-0 lead in the super tie-break, but was defeated by an opponent who switched to ‘turbo mode’ and secured a 10-8 win.
