Carlos Alcaraz He started as the third seed in the draw for the Monte Carlo ATP Masters 1000, which takes place from April 7 to 14, which is the first highlight of the demanding and packed clay court tour at Roland Garros.
The loss of the second place in the world ranking, which the Italian took from him Jannik Sinner As the Miami Masters 1000 ATP champion, it had consequences for the Murcian in the main draw.
In the theoretical semi-finals he would have to face the Serbian Novak Djokovic, whom he could only match in a final recently as he was 1 and 2 in the pots. The final, according to world order, belongs to Jannik Sinner. But if the Spaniard should be careful, a path full of traps awaits in the Balkans and the transalpine.
Alcaraz’s path will be solid from the start, along with the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime or a player from a consistently strong qualifying round as a debut. In the third round, round of 16, the Frenchman is expected to clash Ugo Humbert. For the quarterfinals, as the main seed, the Norwegian Casper Ruud (8), double finalist at Roland Garros.
The semis, with Djokovic, if the Serbian regains his tennis, and the final, against the Italian Jannik Sinner or Russian Daniel Medvedevtwo of the best on the hard court and there are unknowns to clear up on clay, despite the fact that the Muscovite is the current champion of Rome and the transalpine seems to be in a position to take a step forward on clay as well.
Novak Djokovic, who suffered tumbles in previous editions, against the Spaniard Alexander Davidovich or Italian Lorenzo Musettiwill open against the Russian Roman Safiullin or a ‘worthy’. This was their first match after back-to-back losses to two Italians, Jannik Sinner (Australia) and Luca Nardi (Indian Wells).
‘Nole’ may reunite with Musetti, who was first paired with Musetti Taylor Fritzand in the quarterfinals he has to face the current champion, Andrey Rublev, either Alex de Minaur.
It will be difficult for Djokovic to reach Alcaraz, to aim for a final against the lower part of the draw where the German is. Alexander Zverev and the greek Stefanos Tsitsipas They will collide in the round of 16, together Daniel Medvedev waiting in the rooms.
