Even in the face of huge pressure to keep points, the 19-year-old player still took the time to watch the home game of the local NBA powerhouse Heat.

In this thousand-point competition for men and women, seeded players can enjoy the advantage of a bye in the first round.

Therefore, in addition to Alkaraz, including Alexander Zverev, Frances Tiafoe, Holger Rune, Lorenzo Musetti and Miomir Kecmanovic, etc. Many seeded players took advantage of the gap when they did not have to play, and visited the scene of the battle between the Heat and the Knicks.

Not only was Alkaraz able to meet with basketball superstars, but Diaf, a landowner who is a basketball fan himself, had a good time with shooter Duncan Robinson.

Before the game, Zmanovic took a group photo with Musetti and Rooney on the sidelines, and after the game, he met with fellow Serbian Jovic (Nikola Jovic) in the players' lounge.

Among them, Robinson told the ATP official website when he went to the Miami Open the next day that he would play tennis in his spare time, but he was not particularly good at it.

And he has become a tennis fan in recent years, so he thinks this meeting is a good experience.

Heat shooter Robinson visited the Miami Open the day after the game and met with American landowner player Diafo.
