Rising star Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 8 Casper Ruud will square off in the final of the Miami Open on Sunday. Both players will be competing in their maiden Masters 1000 final.
Alcaraz has been highly touted for a number of years but this season, he has taken his game to a whole new level. The Spaniard won his second career title at the Rio Open in February. After a tough semi-final loss against Rafael Nadal at Indian Wells, he has enjoyed a sensational couple of weeks in Miami.
Alcaraz has been tested a couple of times in Miami; Miomir Kecmanovic and Hubert Hurkacz challenged the Spaniard, but the teenager held his nerve in the crunch moments to see his way through.
Ruud's season was initially marred by injury, preventing him from gaining any semblance of momentum. He came to Miami on the heels of a third-round exit at Indian Wells. The World No. 8, however, quickly found his footing and put his disappointing performance in the California desert behind him.
Ruud has looked largely untroubled in Miami, winning all but one of his matches in straight sets. The only set he dropped was against World No. 4 Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals.
With both players determined to win the biggest title of their respective careers to date, the final is set to be an intense and exciting affair.
