There is no easy debut, but if you go fully mentally prepared and with great motivation, Carlos Alcaraz's chances of success are extremely high against any opponent. The player from Murcia starts as a huge favorite in the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024 after Sinner's withdrawal and has demonstrated good form by defeating Nicolás Jarry in the second round with a score of 7-5 6-1.
Always an uncomfortable opponent, especially on these courts, but Carlos Alcaraz has shown in his debut at this ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024 that he is eager to perform well. He arrived last year in poor form and faced difficult situations to manage in the past, but there are reasons for optimism after his convincing victory over Nicolás Jarry, who displayed a good level but succumbed to the solidity of his rival.
From the early stages of the first set, it could be seen that Alcaraz's attitude and level of tennis were far superior to what he showed in this tournament last year. He quickly gained a break advantage but became so superior that he committed the most common and painful sin on these courts: relaxing even slightly. Jarry took advantage of that to break back and push the Murcian to the maximum. Alcaraz recovered with overwhelming naturalness and solid play, going 6-5 up and securing the break that handed him the set.

Long rallies were scarce, but Carlos managed well in the mid-game, stepping up a gear at the start of the second set. The relentless push from the Spaniard and his efficiency from the return proved daunting for a Jarry who lost faith earlier than expected, illustrating how accumulated mistrust in recent months makes him a less dangerous player than usual. Carlos Alcaraz closed out the match convincingly, awaiting the winner between Humbert and Giron in the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024 round of 16.
