Carlos Alcaraz is enjoying these moments before the start of the new season with several exhibition tournaments. Days after facing Frances Tiafoe, the Spanish player defeated Joao Fonseca in a highly entertaining spectacle in front of all the spectators at the Miami stadium.

Already with the victory on his side, the Spanish tennis player talked about his opponent's presence on the circuit, highlighting Joao's significant progress since the beginning. Fonseca also shared his experience of the exhibition match against Carlos Alcaraz.

"Joao came onto the circuit with a lot of strength, has a great game, and I hope it was a very entertaining match. This is my first time playing or even being in a baseball stadium. It's amazing to play here and help bring tennis to new places and new people," said Carlos Alcaraz in the days leading up to the Miami International, as reported by Tennis365.

"I hope people have fun watching us play. It seems unusual to see us playing in this type of stadiums and courts. I am very excited to have played here with João. I'm excited to see the response from the people," explained the Spanish tennis player, who emerged victorious in the exhibition match against the Brazilian in the deciding tiebreak.

A special moment for Alcaraz

"It was really special to play with Joao. I had never played against him, so this was the first time, in this spectacular setting. I had never played in a baseball stadium, so it was truly special to return to Miami in front of this incredible crowd that always conveys great energy. It was a great opportunity and a special moment."

Joao Fonseca's words

"For me, it's crazy. I was here three weeks ago and nothing was set up yet. I thought, 'How are they going to set up a tennis court here?'. I have never seen a baseball game, so maybe in the future I will. The Brazilian fans from Miami came, so it was a lot of fun. I almost got it. It's tough, he's very talented and good, really good. I am very grateful to Carlos."
