Hey tennis fans! 🎾 Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz pulled off an incredible comeback at the Monte-Carlo Masters. After dropping the first set 3-6 to Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti, the 21-year-old turned the tide, winning the next two sets 6-1, 6-0. This victory marked his first Monte-Carlo title and his biggest win since lifting the Wimbledon trophy in 2024.
On a grey afternoon at Court Rainier III, with the Mediterranean Sea as a stunning backdrop, Musetti started strong with a crafty game. However, Alcaraz quickly rediscovered his rhythm in the second set, breaking through with powerful ground strokes and relentless energy. In the decisive third set, after Musetti took a medical timeout for his right thigh, the momentum was totally in the Spaniard’s favor.
Reflecting on his win, Alcaraz said, "I am really happy to win Monte Carlo for the first time. It has been a really difficult week with a lot of difficult situations. I am proud with how I dealt with everything." His resilience not only clinched his sixth Masters 1000 title but also added to his count of 10 major or 1000-level titles, including four Grand Slams.
This epic turnaround is a reminder for everyone—whether you're a student or an early professional—that a rough start is just a setup for a dazzling finish. Keep pushing and turn setbacks into comebacks! 💪
Stay tuned for more exciting tennis action as the season unfolds!
