Arca who won the Monte Carlo Masters unlocked 3 major achievements and took the rest of the clay season to good faith

Alcaraz, a 21-year-old Spanish star of the new generation, recently staged a reversal victory over Italy's Musetti in the men's singles final of the 2025 Monte Carlo Tennis Masters, winning the tournament for the first time, thus unlocking three major achievements in his career.

Alcaraz won the Monte Carlo Tennis Masters for the first time, winning his sixth Masters title and his 18th career singles title

In this match, No. 2 seed Alcaraz overcame the disadvantage of dropping the first set and defeated No. 13 seed Musetti 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 to win his sixth Masters title and his 18th career singles title. At 21 years and 337 days, Alcaraz became the youngest player to win the Monte Carlo Masters men's singles title since Spanish champion Rafael Nadal in 2008, when he was 21 years and 321 days old.

Alcaraz also became the second-highest player in the number of Masters titles since 1990 before his 22nd birthday, behind Rafael Nadal's 11 and two more than Zhang Depei and Jokowich's four. In addition, Alcaraz also tied Russia's Dmitry Medvedev's six-time Masters title for 10th all-time record, and the world ranking also surpassed Germany's Zvolev to return to No. 2.
Alcaraz said after the race: "I'm really happy to win the title for the first time in Monte Carlo, it's been a very difficult week with a lot of difficulties. I'm proud of the way I've overcome the pressure, the last month hasn't been easy for me, so coming here has paid off and I'm really happy. ”

Alcaraz will then take the rest of the clay season with a sense of normalcy: "A lot of people have very high expectations for me, they expect me to have a really good season on clay, maybe I think I can win every tournament, so it's a tough pressure to deal with." "I realised that I shouldn't think about rankings, all I had to do was enjoy tennis. I think I did it this week and it paid off. ”

"For the rest of the clay season, I'm going to try to keep myself in the same mindset and not think about what is expected. I only listen to the people around me and the team, and that's all that matters to me, and I'm going to try to go into the clay season with that mentality. ”
