Carlos Alcaraz vs Casper Ruud for the Title | Miami 2022 Final Highlights 

Future number 1. This guy is nothing short of incredible.

Ruud is good, but Alcaraz is a beast! Very entertaining match, but what makes me happier watching them is because they are both nice guys... polite, humble, no drama...

If you look in Carlos eyes you will see his mentality. The mentality is composed of humble behaviour, passion and not about money or a crazy show.

The forehands these guys were hitting were insanely big, some absolute rockets by both guys. Ruud even averaged (!) 91mph on the forehand midway through the first, but that level was not sustainable. Alcaraz is just insane tho, if he stays injury free there’s lots of Masters and Majors to go his way. Hope Ruud gets his big title soon, such a nice, humble and fair guy, he really deserves it

Alcaraz has the lob of Murray, the drop shot of fed and the defense of Djokovic, And also the mentality of Rafa. And if he can put that all together like he did today he will be going places!

Casper Ruud is such a class act. Devastating loss, but doesn’t take anything away from his opponent and is immediately ready to sincerely congratulate them. Great sportsmanship!

Can't see anything stopping Alcaraz now. The kid's something else and his game is so varied, it's insane

I can't wait to see him win a Grand Slam. It is definitely going to be a special moment.

Carlos Alcaraz has generated more hype for Tennis in the last 2 weeks than Nick Kyrgios did in the last 8 years.

Such a satisfying title streak! 250 -> NextGen -> 500 and now 1000

That hug with Juan Carlos Ferrero… 😢 very emotional

Ruud put on a good fight against Carlos and the crowd. I think he had been away for some time and that’s a great way to come back. He’s also one of the rare guys to applause his opponent when Carlos lift up the trophy. Both great tennis men, both classy, now let’s enjoy watching them on their favorite surface ;)

You'd think his first ATP 1000 final aged 18 would scare him but no, 2 sets, done, onto the next one

CONGRATS to Casper Ruud on a great tournament. Hoping to see him win 1000s and Majors in the future! Such a nice, humble guy and a complete tennis player.

Carlos Alcatraz is the new young sensation of the tennis court. I like everything about him. His strongest attribute is the fact that he remains confident during the matches... even when he begins to lag. Then he simply gets into a higher zone of concentration, never gives up and wins. CONGRATULATIONS to Carlos!

This is one of the most incredible achievements I’ve ever witnessed. The kid is unbelievable.

He is scary, not because he plays so good, we all can see that, but because he seems to be a good kid. Good, honest and humble character. Im so excited to see him grow and win titles.

The first of many of these titles for Carlos 💥 What a talent. Who knows what’s next for him, the world is his oyster 🇪🇸🏆🔥

Carlos is like a diesel, when he gets hot in his game, he starts to dominate.. in most of his matches here in Miami, he is catching up with the points but when he gets there, without you knowing, he stole the set.. Congratulations Carlos really well deserved!

Ruud is a beast, but Alacraz is a monster.

This kid is a futur legend ! Lets enjoy everyone here the rise of Alcaraz

Carlos has the tennis world at his feet. What a phenomenal new force to reshape the game when it needs it the most.

Todo un espectáculo! Que gran orgullo! 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸

What a mental strength he already has! That first set come back was amazing! What a performance all along the tournament! Well done Carlos! 👍💪

Can't believe someone this young can master such a strong mentality. Congrats to Carlos for this title he deserves it 💪🏽

Ferrero must be really proud of Carlitos. I read he left everything to coach Alcaraz a few years ago.

We have witnessed the birth of a second Spanish God of Tennis - lets adore him! Many congratulations!💐❤️💛❤️

Not just the first of many. He wasn't even playing with 100% confidence on the first set & took the match with 2-0. The kid will just dominate the sport for a decade to say the least.

The fact that Alcaraz consistently gets off to bad starts and still manages to win is all that much more impressive. He’s amazing at adaptation. Just wait until he’s even better at steamrolling right from the beginning.

Hola escribo desde Chile, el otro año miraba a Alcaraz y lo veía como un gran jugador, no llamándome la atención, ha pasado un año y este Joven de 18 AÑOS se ha convertido en un GRAN jugador y gran Campeón, los golpes los tiene, la movilidad la tiene de sobra, resistencia física le sobra, con el tiempo seguramente con el apoyo de su staff ira mejorando aun mas con su tenis, pero lo que mas destaco es su madurez mental para afrontar los partidos, este ganando o este perdiendo, es realmente frio de mente, algo que muy pocos jugadores lo tienen y que hacen la diferencia a la hora de ganar y obtener grandes títulos, y solo tiene 18 años, una barbaridad de jugador. Si cuida bien su físico este muchacho a fin de año, seguramente estará dentro de los 6 mejores del mundo.

I’m calling it now, this was a preview of many Roland Garros finals to come. These two will definitely face off in a lot of big matches over the years, especially on clay. I actually think they are the two biggest favorites for RG this year behind Nadal and Djokovic.

I’ve always been a fan of Juan Carlos Ferrero and it’s great to see him coaching Alcaraz

Rewatching this before the US Open finals tomorrow. Both of them have improved since this match. Looking forward to an incredible tennis.

Talented, hardworking, and humble. Keys for success on career/life. This young man has it all. Sincerely congrats to him, Carlos Alcaraz, on his first 1000 ATP. Thank you Tennis TV for all matches.

Seeing Alcaraz play is nothing short of a privilege for tennis aficionados. He's the real deal, and just 18! Wow, this kid will go places.

I have a new tennis idol now: Carlos Alcaraz is like a mix of Federer's brilliance, Nadal's power shots and Djoker's mental strenght. He can even get to eclipse the big 3 in a near future, or is he doing it already now?? And he's not even 19 years old for goodness sake!

He’s the real deal , talent and mentality , where lots of them before him so called next gen have failed to materialise their full potential and so far failed to succeed , what a treat for tennis fans

incredible tennis from Alcaraz. absolutely incredible

Ruud is a true gentleman and a great player indeed. Alcaraz from the ITFs and challengers I used to see him play against top 300 and 400 in epic 3 set matches. This just proves that challengers and ITFs have a great role to play in a players game and evolution.

There's no escape from Alcaraz.

now in the us open final. Crazy

The aggression of Federer, the mental fortitude of Nadal and the flexibility of Djokovic. As long as he can stay healthy he's gonna be at the top of the game for a very long time.

What an almighty performance from Alcaraz. I love Ruud as well, one of my favorite players nowadays. Congrats both on an amazing tournament

Yes, I told you he'd be Miami's champion of the year. A title that spain legends have failed to do #vamoss alcaraz😍❤️

Tremendo jugador, muy completo, camino a destronar a los tres grandes (Ra, Ro, No), ha nacido un nuevo fenómeno del tenis mundial, 👏: Carlos!!👏🇪🇸🇪🇸

Both Alcaraz and Ruud are deserving but only one could hoist the Miami Trophy. They’re definitely two of my favorite players on tour right now. Great tennis players with no negative traits. Wish them both the best. Congratulations to Alcaraz, he’s well ok his way to greatness

and finally these two, after 5 months in a gram slam final, simply incredible!!

He is such a joy to watch! He’s uniquely talented, a great entertainer, has a great flare and style of play, and now a grand slam champ and number 1!! It’s great to see how much his coach JCF loves him. I enjoyed watching him play growing up even though my man Federer ended a lot his runs hehehe

The power and angle on some of Alcaraz’s cross court forehands is UNREAL. He has so many weapons and is a great mover. He’s gonna be terrifying on the tour if he can stay free of injuries. Also becoming more of a fan of Ruud. Guy deserves a lot, too.

The affection that the Miami public has shown him has been essential for his victory. They adopted him as a child. I think Miami will always have a special place in Carlitos' heart.

Rematch for US Open title 🔥

I am watching him since he was 15, great to see him grow!

I would like guys like Alcaraz, Ruud, Auger-Aliasimme and some others with a sporting spirit, who don't break rackets, who don't protest, to beat arrogant players who are just the opposite (Zverez, Tsisipas, Medvedev...).

Me encanta Alcaraz!!! Lo tiene todo para ser el número uno dentro de poco tiempo. Y lo mejor es español. Me recuerda a Nadal en muchas cosas, como celebra con el VAAMOS! como se tira al suelo al ganar, como se crece. Tiene ganas, hambre y talento. Todo lo necesario para triunfar💪

Who is watching before the us open final?

The biggest difference between Alcaraz and the three most successful challengers of the top guns in recent years -- Medvedev, Tsitsipas and Zverev -- is his mental status. Championship men's tennis requires not only incredible physical devotion involving many hours of tortuous physical exercising and game practice each day, but also an incredible level of mental focus, especially in big moments of big matches. Numerous times in major matches, those three went toe to toe against the top guns, but ultimately failed, either because they blinked in the big moments, or because they cracked at closing time and could not serve out a set or match. What is mind boggling about Alcaraz is not only that he has developed such an assortment of abilities at such a young age, from drop shots to lobs to crosscourt sideline-to-sideline forehands to phenomenal full-court defense, but that he seems to have no problem going up even against the top players in the top matches of the top tournaments, and being so calm, confident and mentally focused at what he needs to do to win each point. If God grants him physical health and longevity, it has hard not to imagine this phenom challenging even the monumental achievements of the big three.

Después de haber tenido un super campeón como Rafa Nadal es un orgullo para los españoles tener a este carismático chaval en la élite del tenis mundial. Seguro que será número uno en un futuro cercano. Bravo Carlos Alcaraz !!!

Y al final: la gloria. Que se busca, que se trabaja, con fe, con perseverancia,creyendo en uno mismo y dejándose la piel. Enhorabuena Carlos. Comienza la ruta. Te llevará muy lejos.

consistente Alcaraz. su marca en Miami. fue consistente. Sin victorias aplastantes. Pero es el campeón. Mucho gracias su consistencia. saludos desde Brasil. Vamos Carlitos!

Fast forward a few months and these two are playing for #1 in the US Open final.

Big congratulations to Alcaraz. 👏 He has all the tools to became great, just keep up the consistency.

Alcaraz is the only young player who looks like he has the passion and intensity to be a generational champion. We’ve been spoiled by the GOATs for the last twenty years, but, there may very well come a day in the near future where the tennis world BELONGS to Carlos Alcaraz.

what a maturity attitude on court - no grumbling, no bad words, just focus and go to next points, well done!

What makes it both amazing and scary is the fact that he’s only 18 and has lots of room/time for improvement, we could be witnessing a one in a million case. None of the big3 were nearly as complete as he is in such a young age. INSANE.

When I see Carlos Alcaraz playing only one thing comes to my mind: the chosen one to follow the way of Rafael Nadal.

Alcaraz is playing in the zone now. 3-0 down, he's able to find a solution to turn it around. Ability to switch tactics during a match to cope with the opponent is the mark of a great player. I expect him to do a lot of damage on the clay courts coming up next.

Another legend from Spain.love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

the best match of the miami open so high tension to see final between alcaraz vs casper ruud, world class match, frankly and glad to see "the kid" carlos alcaraz getting better & better, vamos carlos alcaraz

What amazes (and scares) me most is the fact he played quite lousy (for his level) and yet won in straight sets with no drama at all. Almost routinely.

Im convinced hes a robot and a pro gamer is playing as him with a controller from home. Seriously, how can he be so good at such a young age? Hes Rafas heir for sure. Spanish tennis is in good hands after Rafa has retired.

What a good match. And played with no drama and great sportsmanship. Tsitsi/Zverev/Joker et Al take note.

A real star. Cannot wait to see what else comes his way in the future. Such a likeable guy

Happy for both Alcaraz and Ruud and excited to see what they do in the clay court season.

Ruthless performance by Alcaraz once he started reading Ruud’s serves.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Ha nacido una estrella!! 👍👍👍👍

He's marching to the top.. a legend in the making.

Alcaraz had some nerves starting the match but quickly settled in and focused to get back the set. Two young guns who gave it everything they got.. Great match! Congratulations to Alcaraz and Casper for the great challenge. The future of tennis is in safe hands

The crowd already loves him! who will be able to stop his irresistible ascencion? 🤷‍♂️💪💪

Alcaraz will do it again at US Open

Tha star is born... He has the fans all around the world... Luv from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Ruud is a great player who will mark this new generation as well no doubt about it: he is composed, tactical and smart with some very fine hitting. But Alcaraz is stealing everybody's heart with his style: a true champion writing the first pages of a beautiful and long book of achievements ! This new gen is exciting !

I've been hyperbolic in some of my praise of Alcaraz; this time I'll just say he's really putting his game together and he has what it takes to beat anyone right now.

Shows grace on and off the court.I will be rooting for this young man!

Kudos to both these great players 👏👏👏👏. Both really showed their talent,hard work and patience this tournament. Still can’t believe how mature a player Carlos is at 18. PLEASE,STAY HUMBLE,YOUNG MAN. They both deserve a rest,after that match and the whole tournament

Carlos Alcaraz es mi deportista favorito no solo porque sea español (que también por supuesto), sino también por su gran deportividad, su trabajo y afán de superación Y su forma de jugar con golpes muy variados y creativos. Tiene muchos seguidores en todo el mundo y está mejorando muy rápido. Creo que es el que más posibilidades tiene de ser el número 1 del mundo dentro de un máximo de tres años.

What a journey and such an incredible career for the young 18 yo. No drama just play. And great classy handshake and hugging at the end. Ferrero is such a great coach. Rudd got a nice run too but today he’s just falling short

Soon to see these scenes again!

Congrats Carlos for this big title and achievement in such a young age. First of all congrats for Casper for a great tournament and a great 1st set as well. And oh my gosh what a comeback from Carlos in the first set. He is for me the future No 1, if he stays free from bigger injuries and if he's keeping work hard like at the moment. He's for me far better than players like Sasha and Stef, when they were at Carlos' age.

Who can stop him? He is a young monster of tennis!🎾 Wish him health and good luck!🔥

Bravo Ruud, congrats Alcaraz by the way he has the same grunt than Novak. It was so nice to see Juan Carlos Ferrero as well.

i though that after big 3 i stop following a tennis but thank you alcaraz the next tennis star to watch. he is a monster on the court.

This time last year he was ranked out of the Top 100, now flashforward 12 months and he is on the brink of the Top 10 at 11th in the world. Like for like with Nadal in terms of teenage breakout at 18 yrs, and like for like with Djokovic in his game style especially that opened body forehand and double handed backhand. What a talent. Incredible.

Carlos is a truly talented man and tennis 🎾 champion 🏆 🥇. Congratulations 👏. You deserved. Viva España Olé.

At last we've got somerhing new here..the future of men's rennis,this kid is inspiring..

The future of men’s tennis is looking awesome. Both of these young men, great capabilities and character.

Enhorabuena Alcaraz, eres un fenómeno 👏👏🇪🇸❤

What the heck was I doing at 18? Wow. This guy is just too good…

What a fantastic final!!!! Finally two great sportsmen!!! Very happy for Ruud, incredible tennis from him....from now I'm his fan at all!! Alcaraz is the hope for tennis future....great idea of tennis, and great shots....congrats to this fantastic young man!!

I am excited to see what Alcaraz is able to continue to achieve in the coming months. He seems like he has tremendous integrity with great character and respect for the game and for his opponents. A number of the current top rated players do not seem to have an abundance of these qualities.

Bravo à Carlos pour cette splendide victoire. La naissance d'un grand champion Espagnol.
