Alcaraz is one victory away from achieving one of his top goals in Rome
Carlos Alcaraz was presenting himself at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2025 with many objectives and aspirations, but one of them was to appear in the next Monday's ATP ranking as the world number 2. To achieve this, he only needed to reach the semifinals, so he wouldn't depend on Alexander Zverev, something he is just one victory away from achieving. If the Spanish player falls in the quarterfinals, he would be the second player in the ranking as long as the German does not become the champion. It is important to remember that this is key in view of Roland Garros 2025, in order to avoid facing Jannik Sinner until a hypothetical final.
