Michelsen adds spice to Miami: quiets down Chilean crowd

Imagine playing in your own country, on home soil... and feeling like a visitor. That's how giant the Latin influence is at the Miami Open 2026, a situation that is not foreign to many Americans and was experienced today by Alex Michelsen. The American was facing Alejandro Tabilo in front of a fired-up Chilean crowd, which turned into the majority, trying fervently to lead their countryman to victory. However, it was Alex who triumphed, comeback included, and his reaction said it all: finger to the mouth and a gesture of telling them to be quiet, defiant look included, to the Chilean fans. We do enjoy a bit of spice from time to time.
