Carlos Alcaraz Stunned by David Goffin in Miami Open Second Round
What an unexpected turn of events at the Miami Open! Carlos Alcaraz, one of the brightest stars in tennis, suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the experienced David Goffin in the second round. It was a match full of twists and turns, lasting 2 hours and 17 minutes, but ultimately, Alcaraz couldn't find his rhythm and fell 7-5, 4-6, 3-6 to the Belgian player.
At first, it seemed like Alcaraz had the upper hand. He started strong, taking the first set 7-5 with his usual explosive play. His speed, power, and aggressive baseline shots were on full display. However, as the match progressed, things began to shift. Goffin, known for his consistency and tactical intelligence, adapted to Alcaraz's game and started making fewer errors. Meanwhile, Alcaraz looked increasingly uncomfortable, missing shots he would normally execute with precision.

The second set saw a determined Goffin stepping up his game, taking advantage of Alcaraz’s inconsistency. Alcaraz was unable to capitalize on crucial moments, and with a few unfortunate unforced errors, he handed the set to Goffin 4-6. By the time the third set started, it was clear that Alcaraz was struggling. His usual energy seemed to fade, and he appeared frustrated as Goffin continued to return ball after ball, forcing him into difficult positions.
Despite trying to push through in the final set, Alcaraz couldn't turn things around. His errors continued to pile up, and Goffin remained solid, closing out the match 6-3 in the third set. It was a disappointing result for the Spanish sensation, who now loses valuable ranking points from his quarterfinal appearance last year. This defeat could see him drop from the No. 1 or No. 2 ranking for a considerable period.
With Miami behind him, Alcaraz will now shift his focus to the clay court season, where he hopes to regain his top form. This loss may be a setback, but if there's anything we've learned about Carlos Alcaraz, it's that he always comes back stronger. Tennis fans will be eagerly watching to see how he responds in the upcoming tournaments.
