Hey everyone….a post-Miami Mailbag….
Lots of questions and remarks about Miami. Carlos Alcaraz, of course, won the men’s title, beating Casper Ruud in the final. That Alcaraz possesses vast potential has been an open secret for years. That he is realizing this bottomless potential still a month shy of turning 19, well, that is remarkable. I liken this to Nadal in 2005 insofar as it feels like an exercise in glimpsing the future. The Alcaraz game is complete. His work ethic is complete. There is style. There is also substance—not least this unscripted bit of sportsmanship.
