On Sunday, world No. 8 Casper Ruud and teenage prodigy Carlos Alcaraz will compete for the 2022 Miami Open title.
Ruud has recovered well from an early exit at the Indian Wells Masters, reaching the biggest final of his career in Miami. Six of his seven titles have come on clay, but the 23-year-old has begun to show promise on hardcourts as well. Last year, he won his first hardcourt title in San Diego.
After a stellar performance at the Indian Wells Masters, where he was beaten in the quarterfinals by Rafael Nadal, Alcaraz has advanced to the final in Miami.
Following a first-round bye, the teenager began his Miami Open campaign by overcoming Marton Fucsovics and 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic in straight sets.
In the fourth round, he defeated World No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas for the second time.
Carlos Alcaraz will face Norwegian Casper Ruud in the men’s final of the 2022 Miami Open on Sunday, hoping to become the tournament’s youngest winner.
On Friday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., the 18-year-old Alcaraz defeated defending champion Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-2). Ruud defeated Francisco Cerundolo 6-4, 6-1 in the semifinals.
