Eiza Gonzalez reaction goes viral after Sebastian Korda shocks Carlos Alcaraz at Miami Open in career defining win

Sebastian Korda pulled off one of the biggest surprises of the 2026 Miami Open on Sunday. The American player defeated World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the Round of 32 at Hard Rock Stadium. It was a strong and confident performance from Korda, who stayed calm even when the match got tight. This win now stands as the biggest moment of his career so far.Carlos Alcaraz did not look at his best during the match. He lost the first set and struggled early in the second as his serve got broken. He did fight back to take the second set, but in the final moments, he could not match Korda’s steady game. After the last point, when Alcaraz hit his return long, Korda closed his eyes and smiled, clearly enjoying the moment.After the match, Sebastian Korda shared his happiness on Instagram. He posted a photo from his celebration and wrote, “Believe. Thanks for the love Miami.” Many people reacted to his post, but one message stood out. Actress Eiza Gonzalez, who is in a relationship with Grigor Dimitrov, commented, “Congratulations, we are so happy for you.” Her message quickly caught attention among fans.This result is also important for another reason. With this win, Korda became only the sixth American player since 2015 to defeat a World No. 1. That shows how rare and special this moment is for him.Behind this performance, there was also a clear plan. Before the match, Korda had a long talk with his new coach, former American player Ryan Harrison. Instead of trying to play risky shots, the idea was simple: stay steady and not overdo things.Speaking after the match to ATP Tour, Korda explained his mindset. He said, “I took the scenic route, that’s for sure. There was a little more stress than I would want, but I’m happy with how I played, happy with how I stayed with it. I kept believing.”He also shared how his thinking has changed. “It was a lot of soul searching. I’ve gone through a lot of things. I’ve played a lot of great players, but haven’t always been able to get it done. I felt that when I was playing these top players, I was just spraying the ball and trying to do too much. I sat down with Ryan, and our goal today was to play average, to not try and do too much with it.” Next, Korda will face Spain’s Martin Landaluce in the Round of 16. After such a big win, all eyes will now be on how far he can go in Miami.
