The Spanish tennis player, who was capable of both the best and the worst during the match, secured his spot in the quarterfinals after a challenging encounter against the Argentine player.
Carlos Alcaraz
The Spanish tennis player emphasized that it is highly likely that he will lose the top spot in the ATP rankings to Jannik Sinner, so what matters most to him is to play well and achieve good results on the clay court circuit.
Tomás Martín Etcheverry has come back against Terence Atmane in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 2026 to set up a meeting with Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16. The Argentine tennis player eventually defeated the Frenchman with a score of 3-6 6-3 6-3 after almost two hours of play, and will now face a major challenge against the current tournament champion, who yesterday already demolished another compatriot of his like Sebastián Báez.

Carlos Alcaraz spoke with Eurosport France sharing interesting headlines about his goals for the remainder of the year, which areas of improvement take priority in his tennis, and delving into his resignation to soon lose the number 1 spot to Sinner. "What I said caused a lot of commotion, but I truly mean it. I won't be able to defend all the points in the upcoming weeks, and he can gain a lot. I will exert all possible pressure to regain that position as soon as I lose it; that's what makes our rivalry so exciting," he explained.
"I'm investing a lot of time and effort in improving my serve, both on and off the court. I work on ball toss, movement mechanics, technique, sensations...," said a man who is already thinking about Roland Garros. "When you reach a goal, you must take your time to savor it, but also set new short-term objectives. What motivates me the most are the Grand Slams," the Spaniard affirmed.

Tennis TV has uploaded a video of the best players on the circuit reacting to what was considered the best point of 2025, the one achieved by Carlos Alcaraz against Daniel Altmaier precisely at the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000. One of the tennis players who has given his opinion is Jannik Sinner, who praised the skill of the Spaniard. "This point has it all. It has the power of the final shot, it also has a beautiful touch, and the mobility, especially on clay courts, is incredible to watch. It has everything." Even Alcaraz himself appears in the video saying "I don't know how, but I did it."
*That* @CarlosAlcaraz point in Monte-Carlo 😍

However, there is a surreal statistic that has come about today, as despite their quality, this is the first year in which they both manage to win at least one match in this same tournament. Seeing is believing.
A stat that sounds made up but is true:
