As a result, Alcaraz moves one place in the latest ATP ranking (April 11), which moves from No. 3 to No. 2 and overcame Alexander Zverev, who lost his first match in Monte Carlo this year. Zverev’s evaluation points fell from 7,645 to 7 595, which caused it to fall in one place.
This means the first return of Alcaraz to TOP 2 from October 28 last year, when it was also included in the 2nd place; Since then he spent 23 consecutive weeks on No. 3. Overall, his 89 week in TOP 2, with 36 weeks in No. 1 and 53 weeks per No. 2.
Alcaraz also narrows the gap between him and current No. 1 Jannik Sinner, which is currently suspended, out of 3 610 points (10 330 to 6 720) to 2 2110 points (9,930 to 7,720).
Sinner missed Monte Carlo while defending the semifinals when last year serves a three -month suspension for two unsuccessful doping tests. Although Alcaraz cannot overtake him before Sinner returns on a tour in Rome, in the coming weeks of victory in Barcelona and Madrid, this gap could reduce this gap to only 720 points, reaching the rating No. 1.
In addition to Alcaraz and Zverev’s place of swap, there was a move elsewhere in the TOP 10 ATP: Alex de Minaur made the biggest jump, climbed from No. 10 to No. 7-Jen one spot about his career-high career-6-poté that achieved the semifinals of his second Masters 1000 events.
Andrey Rublev also rose from No. 9 back to No. 8, while Daniil Medvedev returned to TOP 10 after he was out for two weeks, he moved from No. 11 to 9. This meant the first absence of the US Open for an elite group for more than two years and dated to February 2023.
Meanwhile, I had the top 10 debut and climbed from No. 16 to No. 11 – exceeded her previous career – a high part 15 – after she reached the final of her first Masters 1000 event. Now she has only 15 points for Ruud No. 10, with a score of 3,215 to 3 200.
Alcaraz wins Monte Carlo Masters
“I’m really glad I won Monte Carlo for the first time,” Alcaraz said. “It was a really difficult week with a lot of difficult situations. I am really proud of myself as I dealt with everything. It was a really difficult month for me in court and outdoors. I come here and see how hard work paid off, I’m really happy.”
This victory represents the first success of the clay court in Alcaraz since his triumph of the French Open last season, with his only other performance Clay Court led to a silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
The mouse, who appeared in his first Masters 1000 after the top 10 players Stefanos Titsipas and Alex de Minaur, began strongly but faced the physical challenges of the match.
The Italian was watching 0-3 in the final set received medical treatment for his right leg, even though he continued the game despite the injury.
“It’s not a way I want to win a match,” Alcaraz said. “Lorenzo has gone through a really hard week, a long and intense match. I am sorry, one of the best results he did. To end like this is not easy. Hopefully this is not serious and soon is 100 percent.”
“It has probably been one of my best tournaments so far,” said Musetti, who won bronze bronze at last year’s Olympics for Alcaraz and gold medalist Novak Djokovic. “I am disappointed that I could not finish this match in the best way, for the crowd. You deserve it so I will continue and try to return to revenge.”
He started the match by dropping his opening service from his opening service, but immediately broke and took the first set and earned six unforced mistakes on Alcaraz.
Alcaraz’s game has improved significantly in the second set, which was convincingly won before the victory with the dominant final set.
Both players will continue to prepare Clay Court at the Barcelona Open next week when they are building towards the French Open at the end of May.
