邁阿密會內賽開打前夕 眾男網球星訪NBA熱火主場
2023/03/24 12:06
〔體育中心／綜合報導〕世界棒球經典賽甫於邁阿密落幕，近日則有網壇「陽光雙賽」第
二站—邁阿密公開賽接力登場。加上進入球季尾聲的NBA例行賽，這座美國東南大城正沉
浸於體壇盛會的氛圍中。
本週重返世界第一的西班牙球王艾卡拉茲（Carlos Alcaraz）以衛冕者身分重返此地，倘
若他未能奪冠，將失去球王頭銜。即便面臨巨大保分壓力，這位19歲好手仍撥空就近觀賞
當地NBA勁旅熱火隊主場賽事。其中，艾卡拉茲更於賽後與該隊傳奇球星魏德（Dwyane Wa
de）及現役主將巴特勒（Jimmy Butler）簡單寒暄，進行「跨界交流」
在這項男女合站的千分等級大賽，種子球員得以享有首輪輪空的優勢。因此除艾卡拉茲外
，包括茲維列夫（Alexander Zverev）、帝亞佛（Frances Tiafoe）、魯內（Holger Run
e）、穆塞蒂（Lorenzo Musetti）及茲曼諾維奇（Miomir Kecmanovic）等多名種子球員
都趁著無須出賽的空檔，親臨熱火、尼克之戰的現場。
不僅艾卡拉茲得以和籃壇巨星會面，本身就是籃球迷的地主好手帝亞佛則是與射手羅賓森
（Duncan Robinson）相見歡。而茲曼諾維奇賽前先和穆塞蒂、魯內一同在場邊合影留念
，賽後則是與塞爾維亞同胞約維奇（Nikola Jovic）在球員休息室碰頭。
其中，羅賓森更於翌日前往邁阿密公開賽會場時向ATP官網表示，自己休閒時光也會打網
球，但並非特別擅長。而他更在近幾年成為一位網球迷，因此他認為這次會面是一次美好
的經驗。
