The two keys that gave Alcaraz the victory at the ATP Monte Carlo 2025

We discussed it yesterday. Carlos Alcaraz didn't need to shine at his best level to take the title at the ATP Montecarlo 2025. Throughout the week, the player from Murcia had to find ways to overcome opponents and compensate for the parts of his tennis that didn't work as they should have in the five matches he played in Montecarlo. According to data from TennisViz Insights for the ATP, the Spaniard's performance dropped with his forehand (-0.2), backhand (-0.5), serve (-0.5), and from the baseline (-1%), but there were two factors that helped him win the title: his break conversion rate (+2%), reflecting how Carlitos switched from defensive to offensive mode, as well as his improvement on returns (+0.2), which made the difference against his rivals. That's the positive aspect for him, winning the title at the first M1000 clay court tournament without needing his best version.

Not at his absolute peak, but King Carlos still finds a way to conquer! 🏆👑

@carlitosalcarazz might not have been at his statistical best, but his ability to navigate opponents and secure the win was paramount 👏
