Open again in his career for one reason, according to Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu\u2019s former coach Mark Petchey.<\/p>\n<p>World No 1\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> suffered a three-set upset defeat to 32nd seed Sebastian Korda in the third round at the 2026 Miami Open last week.<\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard won his maiden Masters 1000 title at the 2022 edition of the Miami Open, where he overcame Casper Ruud in the final.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old holds a 14-5 (74%) record from his five appearances in Miami, having also reached the semi-finals in 2023 and the quarter-finals in 2024, while he lost his opening match in both 2021 and 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz has secured eight Masters 1000 titles overall, having also triumphed in Indian Wells (twice), Madrid (twice), Monte Carlo, Rome and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Tennis Channel\u2019s The Big T podcast, former British No 1 Petchey gave his verdict on Alcaraz\u2019s loss to Korda in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the tennis season is quite difficult. And I think we forget how young Carlos is,\u201d said Petchey.<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Alcaraz News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-urged-stay-out-spotlight-rediscover-motivation\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz urged to \u2018stay out of the spotlight\u2019 if he wants to rediscover his motivation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/juan-martin-del-potro-candid-verdict-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-rivals\"><strong>Juan Martin del Potro issues candid verdict on who can rival Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

That\u2019s why it\u2019s so hard to win the Sunshine Double.
