Being the first Spanish male player to win a title in Miami, Alcaraz has received huge praise from his country. The mayor of Huelva, Gabriel Cruz, has confirmed that Alcaraz will be competing at the ninety-seventh edition of the Copa del Rey, Spain’s oldest tennis tournament. The mayor lavished praise on Alcaraz by proclaiming him as the ‘sensation of world tennis’ and also a successor to Rafael Nadal.

“We will have in Huelva the sensation of world tennis today, a young man who can mark an era in world tennis and who, after his recent victory in the Masters 1000 in Miami, which has placed him with Only 18 years old in eleventh place in the ATP ranking, he wins integers as successor to Rafa Nadal,” the mayor said as quoted by huelva24.

After a stellar spring hard court season, Alcaraz will be looking to stake his domination further as the clay-court season begins.
