Ahead of his Miami Open title bid, the incumbent tennis superstar, Carlos Alcaraz, said that the players are showcasing a more aggressive brand to defend him. The Spaniard sees it as a compliment to him.

Earlier in the year, Alcaraz secured his sixth Grand Slam title by clinching his first-ever Australian Open title. He will be looking to bounce back from his loss in the Indian Wells semi-finals. He will begin his Miami Open campaign by playing a clash against Joao Fonseca.
