LoanDepot Park, home of MLB’s Miami Marlins, will host the Miamin Invitational tennis exhibition on December 8th at 7 p.m.

Two of the Miami Open’s most popular stars, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and 19-year-old Brazilian phenom Joao Fonseca, will square off in the men’s match.

“I love playing in Miami – the fans always bring incredible energy. I’m thrilled to take the court for this first-ever event at loanDepot park, with João, Amanda, and Emma,” Alcaraz said in a statement.

Wimbledon and US Open finalist Amanda Anisimova will play 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu in the women’s exhibition match.

“Playing in my hometown at loanDepot park with these stars is going to be incredible,” Anisimova said in a statement. Miami always delivers the biggest events, and I can’t wait for December!”

“Bringing four of the top talents in the sport of tennis in Carlos Alcaraz, João Fonseca, Amanda Anisimova and Emma Raducanu to loanDepot park for this first-ever event places South Florida at the center court of the global sports stage,” Marlins president of business Caroline O’Connor wrote in a statement. “By hosting this premier exhibition, we reinforce our standing as the ultimate destination for the most prestigious events in sports and entertainment, and we’re honored to showcase our ability to deliver world-class experiences for all major events at our one-of-a-kind venue.”
