He will face Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in today's final. "I knew how well Davidovich Fokina has played in Monte Carlo, so I had to be ready to fight," said Alcaraz.

Alcaraz is targeting his first Masters title since winning in Indian Wells last year and his first on clay since the 2024 French Open. "It's been a long time since I've won a title on clay and I can't wait to try my luck again here," said Alcaraz.
