Carlos Alcaraz wants to dispel all doubts and voices that disagree with playing the entire clay court tour (Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros) being a good decision. Therefore, upon his arrival at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, he made it clear that he wants to play these five tournaments and, at the same time, he took the opportunity to defend his intention to play at the Barcelona Godó Open.

"Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome... that's the plan. It's very demanding physically and mentally. The week in Barcelona is perhaps when I should rest, but Barcelona is a very important tournament for me. I feel something special there; I was already playing there when I was under 14, I have many friends there, I play at home, so it's always special. My plan is to take care of my body as much as possible during matches and tournaments and play the entire clay court season," stated the world number one.

Carlos Alcaraz has completed his second training session in Monaco before his debut in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, which will take place against Sebastián Báez or Stan Wawrinka. The Spaniard will seek to defend his title won last year, and coincidentally, his training today was with the tennis player he defeated in last year's final, Lorenzo Musetti. However, the Italian arrives in a different context than last year, as he has barely played a match since his injury at the Australian Open and will defend a total of 2,250 points on this clay court tour.

The Monte Carlo Masters 1000 has already kicked off; however, the Monegasque tournament has suffered two last-minute dropouts. And one of them directly affects Carlos Alcaraz. It is Frances Tiafoe, who last night fell in the ATP Houston semifinals and, as expected, has withdrawn from the tournament. The American would have been the opponent of the Spaniard in the round of 16. While the other last-minute withdrawal has been that of Giovanni Mpesthi Perricard, who could have faced Alexander Zverev in the second round.
