Teen star Alcaraz beats Ruud to win Miami Open crown

Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ever Miami Open champion on Sunday after the 18-year-old Spaniard defeated Casper Ruud to win his first ATP Masters title.

Alcaraz, who turns 19 next month, showed just why many believe he is currently the hottest young prospect in men’s tennis with a 7-5, 6-4 victory.

Only two men have won titles at this level at a younger age — Michael Chang (1990, Toronto, 18 years five months) and Rafael Nadal (2005, Monte Carlo, 18 years 10 months).
