Carlos Alcaraz Advances to Monte Carlo Masters Semifinals

Match Highlights

Alcaraz overcame a challenging first set, ultimately winning 6-3, 6-0 in a swift 1 hour and 3 minutes. Despite a slight wobble early on, Alcaraz demonstrated remarkable resilience and tactical adjustments to overpower Bublik.

Alcaraz’s Post-Match Reflections

“First of all, I had break points in the first set, but I didn’t take them. And then, suddenly, I lost a little bit of the feeling with the ball. But after that, I think he got more rhythm, played great games, and I just attacked in a rush. From the second set, I started trying to defend my game better. I think I saved some games that gave me a lot of confidence to get back into the match. And then I started to play aggressively, and that’s it.”

“I would say I played a very good and solid match against a player who is probably unorthodox. You don’t know what he’s going to do next, but I’m happy to have gotten through and to play another semifinal here. And obviously, I’m very happy for my 300th win on the ATP Tour. And yes, I hope there are many more to come.”
