Eighteen-year-old Spanish phenom Carlos Alcaraz became the "youngest Miami Open champion in the tournament’s 37-year history" with yesterday's win over Casper Ruud in the final. South Florida’s "large Hispanic tennis community and visitors from Latin America embraced Alcaraz from the start of the tournament and a men’s final record crowd of 21,393 showed up on Sunday -- 16,000 watched in the stadium and another nearly 6,000 had grounds passes." During changeovers, fans chanted, “Vamos, Vamos, Al-ca-raz!” during the final, some fans "waved Spanish flags." Total attendance for the 14-day tournament was 371,479, the "second-highest total in tournament history." The largest was 388,743 in '19, the "first year it was held at Hard Rock Stadium" (MIAMI HERALD, 4/4).
