Two dimensional array with 3x3 display

I have been working on this all week. Yes, it is homework, and I realize this same thing has been somewhat asked before but I cant make the solutions work for my specific code. I need to make a two dimensional array have a display that is 3x3. I have to use the array, it is part of the assignment, and it must be 3x3 and have a print method, so these are not changes I can make.

Right now they are printing out in one single line. Here is the result I am getting:

enter image description here

If you cant see the screenshot, the result I was getting was:

First Tic Tac Toe:
X O X O O X X X O
Second Tic Tac Toe:
O O X O O X X X O

Here is my code:

public class tictactoe {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("First Tic Tac Toe: ");
        char[][] ttt1 = { { 'X', 'O', 'X' }, { '0', 'O', 'X' }, { 'X', 'X', 'O' } };
        print(ttt1);

        System.out.println("Second Tic Tac Toe: ");
        char[][] ttt2 = { { 'O', 'O', 'X' }, { '0', 'O', 'X' }, { 'X', 'X', 'O' } };
        print(ttt2);
    }

    public static void print(char ttt1[][]) {
        for (char row = 0; row < ttt1.length; row++) {
            for (char column = 0; column < ttt1[row].length; column++)
                System.out.print(ttt1[row][column] + "     ");
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

If you don't mind to see square brackets around each row and commas between each number in a row you can do:

java.util.Arrays;
for (int row = 0; row < ttt1.length; row++)
       System.out.println(Arrays.toString(ttt1[row]));

You are missing a new line once you print out each row.

public static void print(char ttt1[][]) {
    for (char row = 0; row < ttt1.length; row++) {
        for (char column = 0; column < ttt1[row].length; column++)
            System.out.print(ttt1[row][column] + "     ");
        System.out.println();
    }
    System.out.println();
}
