The Swiss reflected on his career, reaffirmed his great goals in this final season, and made headlines regarding the evolution of tennis.
Sebastián Báez will be the first opponent of Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2026. The Argentine will pose a tough challenge for the player from Murcia, given his history on this surface, and secured this encounter after overcoming Stan Wawrinka, who bid farewell to the place where he achieved his only Masters 1000 to date. The Swiss player's defeat seemed inevitable, but he displayed sheer determination and heart, managing to turn the second set around from 1-5 to 5-5... and that's where he surrendered (7-5, 7-5). Therefore, Seba will be the opponent for the player from Murcia in the second round, with the exact date of the match yet to be determined, whether it will be played next Tuesday or Wednesday.
