Tiafoe topped Alcaraz, 5-7, 6-1 [11-9], to cap a memorable night in Charlotte.

And who better to welcome them to San Juan, Puerto Rico than hometown hero Monica Puig, the 2016 Olympic gold medalist?

The one-night spectacle will take place on March 2 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. This year, the venue celebrated its 20^th anniversary as the nation’s largest indoor arena.

Less than two weeks ago, Alcaraz, Tiafoe, Sloane Stephens and Madison Keys played in front of more than 16,000 fans at Charlotte’s Spectrum Center. Keys defeated Stephens, before Tiafoe saved a match point to edge out the four-time major winner.

Alcaraz will open his 2025 season at the Australian Open.

Said Alcaraz afterwards about his connection with the American, “He's always smiling, he's always giving good vibes to all the people. Always laughing, always making jokes. That's why I think we have a very good relationship off the court.”

The Spaniard, Tiafoe and Puig are sure to draw a similar audience next year, with the Coliseo de Puerto Rico boasting a capacity of 18,500 spectators. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale December 20 at 10 a.m. local time.

Both are preparing for the upcoming season, with Alcaraz’s training being documented by acclaimed Getty Images photographer Clive Brunskill in Murcia, Spain.
