JAKARTA Tennis player from Spain, Carlos Alcaraz, managed to come out as champion at the 2025 Monte Carlo Masters after defeating his opponent Lorenzo Musetti from Italy.
Aclaraz started the final slowly and missed the first set, but managed to take advantage of the opponent's injury to win 3-6, 6-1, and 6-0 at Court Rainier III, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The 21-year-old admits that he is very sympathetic to Musetti, who in poor condition can try to finish the game in order to pursue the biggest title of his career.
"This is not the way I want to win a game. Ending like this is not easy. Hopefully this is not a serious thing and he will recover 100 percent soon," Alcaraz said at the ATP website.
Alcaraz won the championship trophy at Monte Carlo 2025 after a complicated week, being knocked out surprisingly in the second half of the 2025 Miami Open against David Goffin.

Prior to that, he managed to reach the semifinals at Indian Wells 2025 to keep hopes of maintaining the title. However, his journey there ended in disappointment over falling against Jack Draper.
"This month is really difficult for me, both on the field and off the field. Come here and see how hard work is paid off, I'm really happy," he said.
This is Alcaraz's sixth ATP Masters 1000 trophy in his or first career since Indian Wells 2024 and his overall 18th title.
This result also provides an impetus of confidence for Alcaraz who will struggle to defend his clay field Grand Slam title at the French Open in May 2025.
