Tennis fans have responded to claims that Carlos Alcaraz's 2023 Indian Wells Open victory constitutes a Sunshine Double win since he won the Miami Open title last year. The Sunshine Double refers to winning both the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open in the same year. It is called the Sunshine Double because of the hot conditions in which the tournaments are played. This feat has been accomplished by 11 players, including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Victoria Azarenka, among others. While Alcaraz's Indian Wells triumph was undoubtedly a significant milestone in his career, he will have to win the Miami Open title this year to claim the coveted Sunshine Double. Numerous tennis enthusiasts promptly pointed out that Carlos Alcaraz is yet to win his first Sunshine double. One fan took to Twitter and wrote, "That's not how it works.""Okay I love Carlos but he did NOT win the Sunshine Double like that’s not how it works yall 😭💀," they wrote.aidan@vamosaidanokay I love Carlos but he did NOT win the Sunshine Double like that’s not how it works yall 311okay I love Carlos but he did NOT win the Sunshine Double like that’s not how it works yall 😭💀Another user politely pointed out that everyone will have to wait until next week to see Alcaraz's performance in the Floridian ATP 1000 Masters tournament.

It’s only impressive when a player wins Indian Wells and Miami back to back. Otherwise it’s just winning two Masters 1000 tournaments.1Okay Carlos Alcaraz is amazing but you all need to stop trying to make “youngest guy to win both parts of the Sunshine Double” a thing.

The young Spaniard outclassed his Russian opponent 6-3, 6-2 in just an hour and 10 minutes. Alcaraz's Indian Wells campaign was flawless as he did not drop a single set on his way to the championship match. His remarkable performance culminated in a well-deserved victory in the final, which enabled him to reclaim the coveted World No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic. When asked about his thoughts on reclaiming the top spot in the rankings, the 19-year-old said it was "a dream come true.""Well, it feels great to be back on the No. 1, you know. Of course every player on the ATP wants to be No. 1, and for me it's a dream come true again," Alcaraz said in his post-match presser. "Obviously being in front of such great players like Novak, like the top players, for me, it's an amazing feeling."Alcaraz is now a three-time ATP Masters 1000 champion, becoming just the second teenager to do so after his idol Rafael Nadal.
