"Alcaras advanced to the championship match by showing his versatility and tactical nous. He delivered 'master class' from the baseline." (ATP Tour)

Carlos Alcaras (21, Spain), who is ranked second in the world in the clay court season, has a great momentum.
In the singles semifinals of the 2025 Barcelona Open (ATP 500) on the 19th (local time), he silenced the gust of 14th-ranked Arthur Pills (6-2 6-4) and is one step closer to winning the title for the second consecutive week.

At the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters last week, I was thrilled to win the ATP Masters 1000 Series for the first time in 13 months (6 individual calculations), but I think I am also close to winning the title for the second consecutive week. I heard that nine consecutive wins are on the verge of collapse.

With this upturn, I think it's okay to say that he has given the green light to his second consecutive Grand Slam of the season, the 2025 Roland Garros, which opens on May 25.

However, it is worth remembering that Björn Borg (68, Sweden), who won the 11th Grand Slam men's singles in the 1970s, praised Alcaras. Bori appeared at the venue and met Alcaras as well.

"Alcaras is still very young. I think he will win more Grand Slams. He has the right mentality, so he can play on any surface. He was No. 1, and he's on top. I really want to win a Grand Slam at least once this year. I'll see him because he likes it. Hopefully, he'll be the king of tennis."

Anyway, for Alcaras, the one-year-old and "power-hitter" Arthur Pills was an onerous opponent. But even with the wind blowing on the court, Alcaras finished the game in an hour and 15 minutes by showing his various shots and his natural athletic ability again. He had two wins against his opponent.
Alcaras won back-to-back victories in 2022 and 2023 at the Barcelona Open, and will win his third title in the tournament if he catches Holger Lune (21, Denmark), the world's 13th-ranked player.

Holger Lune defeated 27th-ranked Karen Khachanov (28, Russia) 2-0 (6-3 6-2) in the semifinals and gained momentum, with the ATP Tour meaning the final between Alcaras and Lune was a "volobuster showdown."

"Since I was a kid, I've been here to watch Sunday's final," Alcaras said after the match. "I've played here twice, so it means a lot to be back in the final. In front of my people, my friends from Murcia, and of course here in Barcelona. It's been a really fun and good week. Let's see if we can finish with a trophy tomorrow." 메이저사이트

Who will laugh in the final, when they are 21 years old? In their opponents, Alcaras is leading with two wins and one loss.
