Carlos Alcaraz Turns the Tide in Monte Carlo with Stunning Comeback Victory
So let’s talk about Carlos Alcaraz—because wow, what a turnaround this guy pulled off at the Monte Carlo Masters. For anyone who thought he might struggle again at this venue, think again. This week marked a huge milestone for the young Spaniard, who finally secured his first-ever win in Monte Carlo, and he did it in true Alcaraz style—by bouncing back after a shaky start and completely flipping the script on the match.
He faced Francisco Cerundolo in his opener, and I’ll be honest, things weren’t looking too great in the beginning. Alcaraz dropped the first set 3-6 and just wasn’t finding his rhythm. He even admitted it himself—he was making too many mistakes, letting Cerundolo dominate, and not playing his game. But that’s the key right there: his game . Because once he decided to step into his own rhythm, everything changed.

In the second set, it was like watching a completely different player. He started pushing up on the court, returning closer to the baseline, and dictating every single point. Suddenly, Cerundolo couldn’t keep up. Alcaraz broke his serve with ease, peppered the match with his signature drop shots, and just like that—6-0. Total domination.
By the third set, Alcaraz was reading Cerundolo like a book. Even when the shots came in deep and heavy, he handled them with ease, taking them early and never backing down. That final scoreline? 3-6, 6-0, 6-1. And he wrapped it all up in just 98 minutes. Incredible.
After the match, he made it clear: “I had to play my tennis.” And that’s exactly what he did. He also scribbled “I missed clay” on the camera lens—classic Alcaraz. You could feel that passion coming through every shot.
But the story doesn’t end there. In the next round, he faced Daniel Altmaier, another tough opponent. And again, Alcaraz delivered. He won 6-3, 6-1, saving 9 out of 10 break points. He made it look easier than it really was, even saying afterward that the score didn’t reflect how tough the match actually felt.
Now, with that momentum, he’s heading into the quarterfinals against Arthur Fils, who’s also been on fire lately, especially after beating Andrey Rublev. So yeah, the next match is going to be something to watch.
But for now, one thing’s clear—Carlos Alcaraz is back in his element on clay. Monte Carlo may not be ready to change its name to “Monte Carlitos” just yet, but if he keeps this up, fans might not be joking with that sign for long.
