Monte Carlo, April 14, 2025 — Carlos Alcaraz pulled off yet another stunning comeback to win the Monte Carlo Masters, defeating Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 in Sunday’s final. With this win, Alcaraz became the 3rd most Masters 1000 finals before the age of 22.
The 21-year-old Spaniard continues to build a career that already looks historic, capturing his 18th career title and 6th Masters 1000 crown.
It was a tale of two halves in the final. Musetti came out strong, playing fluid, aggressive tennis to take the first set 6-3. However, Alcaraz, as he’s done all tournament, found another gear.
He stormed back to dominate the rest of the match, dropping just one game in the final two sets and overwhelming Musetti with relentless pace, precision, and power.
This was the third time this week that Alcaraz came back from a set down to win, showcasing not just physical brilliance but also unmatched resilience for someone so young.
“It’s been one of the toughest weeks of my career,” Alcaraz said. “I had to dig deep every match. But I never gave up, and now I’m holding this trophy—it feels incredible.”
Carlos Alcaraz: The new generation Rafael Nadal
The win marks Alcaraz’s first title at Monte Carlo, one of the most prestigious stops on the ATP Tour. In doing so, he becomes one of the youngest champions in the tournament’s history and continues to invite comparisons to his legendary compatriot Rafael Nadal.
Musetti, competing in his first Masters 1000 final, impressed throughout the week with his stylish shot-making and composed demeanor. But against Alcaraz in full flight, there was little he could do once the momentum shifted.
With the clay court season now underway, Alcaraz has sent a clear message to the rest of the field: he’s not only a contender—he’s the man to beat.
At just 21, the “insanity” of Alcaraz’s rise shows no signs of slowing down. The future of tennis is already here.
