Recently crowned World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has taken time out of his title-winning schedule to spend time with puppies who are up for adoption as part of the Miami Open Unites initiative.
The third installment of the Miami Open Unites saw various ATP and WTA players coming together to partner with organizations in Miami and spend a day serving the local community. Some of the activities included cooking meals, building homes and planting saplings.
As a part of the initiative, Carlos Alcaraz spent time with puppies from the Miami Humane Society who are up for adoption. He also showcased his love for dogs, stating that he too had a dog while growing up and loves to spend time with them.
"I have a little dog at home so I love to spend time with them I love it, when I was little, you know a little kid, I was, I had a big dog so I love them" Alcaraz said.
The ATP Tour's official Twitter account posted a video of Alcaraz spending time with the puppies.
"Carlos + pups what more could you ask for! @carlosalcaraz was off winning a title last week, but was able to catch up with Miami Humane Society pups on site!" ATP captioned the video.
Carlos Alcaraz into the round of 32 at the Miami Open
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will be keen to register the Sunshine Double by winning the 2023 Miami Open. The 19-year-old reigned supreme at the Indian Wells Masters on March 20, beating Russia's Daniil Medvedev in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
Alcaraz is through to the Round of 32 at the 2023 Miami Open as he defeated Argentine Facundo Bagnis comfortably 6-2, 6-0 in the Round of 64.
Alcaraz now faces Serbia's Dusan Lajovic in the next round. This marks the pair's fourth meeting. The Spaniard has won all of their past meetings and leads the head-to-head 3:0.
The pair first met at last year's Australian Open in the round of 64 where Alcaraz ousted the Serbian 6-2, 6-1, 7-5. The pair's next two meetings came in 2023 at the Argentina Open and the Rio Open, where Alcaraz conquered in straight sets.
Alcaraz is gunning to defend his title at the Miami Open this year. Last year, 14th-seeded Alcaraz got the best of sixth-seeded Casper Ruud in the final 7-5, 6-4.
