As at home. Carlos Alcaraz is going from minor to greatest in Monte-Carlo, at the beginning of his favorite tour. And it manifests it.

“I am very happy to return to clay. It has been a really good season so far. I probably had some difficulties last season, but coming from a surface where I love playing and where I grew … It is fantastic to feel that again“The Spaniard said after 6-3 and 6-1 to German Daniel Altmaier (84 °).

These sensations are added to those expressed after the triumph in the debut, before Francisco closing it, putting the brick dust well: “I like long balls. The serve is not so important on land. What I miss is to see a good tennis and I think that in Clay you can see really tennis. It is not just seeing great serves or certain blows. Long exchanges are seen. That is what I like, see tennis and play in clay. “

Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals of Monte-Carlo for the first time In his career (he only played in 2022 with a fall in debut) so, among the 1000 Masters, now he only remains for the last eight in Rome.

There are already 14 triumphs in their last 15 games in clay. And needs three others to return to the world No. 2. For now, he will now face Arthur Fils, which eliminated the Russian Andrey Rublev.

It should be remembered that the last time he competed on the surface was in the Olympicswhere he won the silver medal.

“It’s my first time playing about a quarterfinals here. It will be complicated against Arthur Fils, who has been playing an excellent tennis lately. He has had a great season so far. So it will be a game interesting. I think it’s the first time I play against him. It will be a pretty game, a beautiful game to see. I hope people enjoy it, “added the Spaniard, who has never faced French in the professional circuit.
