Alcaraz Henin Monte-Carlo

Carlos Alcaraz won the Monte-Carlo tournament this Sunday for the first time in his career by defeating Lorenzo Musetti.

However, the Spaniard did not have an easy week, as he lost the first set in his matches against Francisco Cerundolo, Arthur Fils, and Lorenzo Musetti.

Nevertheless, the Spaniard managed to come back each time and secure victory. After the final, Justine Henin, a consultant for Eurosport, shared her thoughts on Alcaraz's week.

"Alcaraz faced many challenges this week. He found solutions and knew how to adapt. What he managed to do in the second set of this final…

Musetti had already given so much that he started to struggle and decline physically. Alcaraz hit the mark and struck where it hurt. You have to be able to do that.

We talk about it as if it were easy, as if you could just press a button and everything would fall into place. It’s true—that’s exactly the feeling it gives us, so we tend to talk about it that way.

But it’s phenomenal to see how he was able to turn things around. What a start to the clay season for him!"
