Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz pulled off a jaw-dropping turnaround at the Monte-Carlo Masters on Sunday, overcoming Italy's Lorenzo Musetti 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 to claim his first title at the iconic clay-court tournament. 🌊 The victory marks his biggest win since his 2024 Wimbledon triumph and adds another glittering chapter to his growing legacy.
After a rocky start that saw Musetti dominate the first set with clever shot-making, the 21-year-old Alcaraz flipped the script with 🔥 relentless power and precision. 'I’m proud of how I fought through tough moments this week,' said Alcaraz, who now holds six Masters 1000 titles. 'This win means everything after a challenging month.'
The match turned when Alcaraz unleashed his signature explosive forehands, winning 12 of the last 13 games. Musetti, visibly fatigued from earlier marathon matches, took a medical timeout for his right thigh in the final set but couldn’t halt Alcaraz’s dominance. Despite the one-sided finish, Alcaraz praised his opponent: 'Lorenzo had an amazing week—I hope he recovers soon.'
With this win, Alcaraz cements his status as clay-court royalty ahead of Roland Garros. 🏆 Will this spark another Grand Slam run? Tennis fans worldwide are buzzing!
