Carlos Alcaraz arrived in Montreal, where he will be seeded no.2. The Spanish sensation is currently ranked no.4 and only one year ago, he didn’t have the ranking to make it for the main draw. Carlito posted a lovely picture in Montreal with his older brother Alvaro and coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. In Canada, Carlito will probably be considered the top favorite alongside Daniil Medvedev.
Carlito decided to play tournaments on clay after Wimbledon. Eventually, he was the runner-up in both events in Hamburg and Umag.
