Miami Invitational Highlights: Carlos Alcaraz hits with Ronaldo, later hits own face with shanked volley
The world No. 1 edged Joao Fonseca after Amanda Anisimova defeated Jessica Pegula.
MIAMI—During the ‘regular’ season, ATP and WTA players are accustomed to Hard Rock Stadium—home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins—being turned into the host of a combined 1000-level tournament.
On Monday evening, Carlos Alcaraz, Amanda Anisimova, Joao Fonseca and Jessica Pegula had the opportunity to add an MLB venue to their lists during the off-season at the inaugural Miami Invitational.
Before the four players took the court at the transformed LoanDepot Park, Alcaraz popped out for a brief hitting session with a legendary one-namer from Brazil: Ronaldo.
It was among the highlights we captured on a field traditionally occupied by members of the Miami Marlins and their visiting opponents. As was an instance where the world No. 1 struck himself in the face after framing a volley, one of several moments involving our 2025 ATP Player of the Year selection.
