Ace tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, who is ranked third in the world, suffered a shock early exit from the Miami Open on Friday as Belgian veteran David Goffin fought back for an inspired 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 win at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday.

The 55th-ranked Goffin struck some glorious winners while Alcaraz  struggled with unforced errors. The Belgian was up by a break in all three sets, but having let his Spanish opponent recover in the first, he showed poise and calm to stay on top. “It’s the kind of night that I will remember for sure,” said an ecstatic Goffin.
