It’s time for a fan-favorite match at the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú. One day after defeating Tommy Paul in the fourth round, Carlos Alcaraz will have to face another American player Wednesday night at Hard Rock Stadium, now for a semifinal spot: Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. native Taylor Fritz, the best-ranked US player in the ATP Rankings, at No. 10.

Some people have to be the best at what they do to standout – or perhaps be in the top 20. Or 50. Or even in the top 100 – for Atlanta native Christopher Eubanks, that is exactly where he will be projected to be as of next Monday after reaching the 2023 Miami Open fourth round, his best career run in a Masters 1000 tournament.

It took a while for Stefanos Tsitsipas to play his opening match at the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú. After a week off due to a first-round bye and a victory by walkover in the second round, the Greek finally hit the court this Monday, defeating Chilean qualifier Cristian Garin in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.

In times of March Madness, Tuesday is the day in which the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú’s Sweet 16 will take over the courts at Hard Rock Stadium: all eight men’s singles fourth-round matches will be played tomorrow to determine the quarterfinalists.

There is nothing like having a fresh bagel on a Sunday. For Carlos Alcaraz, it seems that bagels are good anytime he plays at the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú: this Sunday, the World No. 1 defeated Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic 6-0, 7-6(5) and advanced to the fourth round, where he will face Voorhees, N. J. native Tommy Paul for a quarterfinal spot.

No. 2 seeds Stefanos Tsitsipas and Aryna Sabalenka will hit the court again this Monday at the Miami Open, on a day that will determine all the Women’s quarterfinal matches and the men’s fourth round fixtures.

Life was not easy for seeded players at the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú this Saturday: between upsets and hard-fought battles, nine of the 16 men’s singles seeds who played their second-round matches today were knocked out, while fan favorites Coco Gauff and Victoria Azarenka were also ousted from the women’s draw.

There will be no fun under the sun for top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, who will be back for their next matchups tomorrow, March 26, at the 2023 Miami Open in a packed Sunday that also includes World No. 4 Casper Ruud, American No. 1 player Taylor Fritz and many other tennis standouts.

There aren’t many things as sacred as Happy Hour on a Friday night in Miami. And even Carlos Alcaraz was aware of that, as the World No. 1 delighted fans for a little bit more than 60 minutes in a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Argentina’s Facundo Bagnis at Hard Rock Stadium.

It’s time for Hard Rock Stadium to shine. The first Saturday of the 2023 Miami Open presented by Itaú will be full of tennis stars taking over the main courts, including Stefanos Tsitsipas, Americans Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff, Daniil Medvedev and a clash between WTA hot shots Elena Rybakina and Paula Badosa.
