Alcaraz, the defending champion at Miami and also the recent winner at Indian Wells, will next take on Taylor Fritz, another American player, in the quarter-final round. Despite Tommy Paul’s previous victories against Spanish players, including Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in 2020, he was unable to gain any momentum during the match.
