The Prudential Center in Newark was treated to a thrilling evening on Sunday, December 7, as World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and his peers headlined the inaugural edition of A Racquet at the Rock. The Spaniard was joined by three American stars — Frances Tiafoe, Amanda Anisimova, and Jessica Pegula — making for a memorable debut event.

Tiafoe and Pegula won their respective singles matches, with Pegula later pairing up with Alcaraz to clinch the mixed doubles contest. In the men’s singles showdown, Tiafoe stunned the six-time Major champion in a gripping battle. The American seized control early by taking the opening set, only for Alcaraz to fight back and level the match by claiming the second.
