In the Monte Carlo final, Carlos Alcaraz triumphed over Lorenzo Musetti with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-0, earning his sixth Masters 1000 title. Despite Musetti’s strong start, showcasing his talent by taking the first set, he succumbed to injury and struggled to compete in the later stages. Alcaraz expressed remorse for his opponent's condition but celebrated his victory, noting the challenges he faced leading up to the match. This win propels him to No. 2 in the ATP rankings, reinforcing his status as a top player following a rocky start to the year.
This is not the way I want to win a match. I really feel sorry for him. Just really happy to have won the Monte Carlo for the first time.
Alcaraz has struggled at times this year and was coming off an opening-round loss to David Goffin in Miami, but now he's on a high after this win.
Musetti showed promise, winning the first set with two breaks of serve, but ultimately could not maintain his momentum against a rejuvenated Alcaraz.
After being initially challenged, Alcaraz's dominance resurfaced, allowing him to secure the second and third sets without dropping another game.
