Carlos Alcaraz didn’t have the run he was hoping for in Monte Carlo where he lost in his opening match at the hands of Sebastian Korda. However, in tennis, you have the opportunity to bounce back immediately in the following week. Carlito can still win a prestigious title next week in Barcelona, where his childhood hero, Rafael Nadal, will not play because of his rib injury.
The top favorites will probably be Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud alongside Carlito. This is the latest entry list.
