The Spanish tennis player is happy with how he turned around his debut in Monaco against Cerúndolo and confesses what he missed the most about clay courts.
Carlos Alcaraz reacted in time to defeat Fran Cerúndolo in his debut at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo (3-6, 6-0, 6-1). And these were his impressions right off the court just after finishing his match against the Argentine: "I didn't start well, I struggled to find my rhythm, made many errors, and allowed him to play inside the court and dominate the point. After the first set, I knew I had to change and play my tennis, hit drop shots, come to the net, and play more aggressively. The main change was in the return, I stepped in more inside the court and from there I played very well and dominated the points," said the Spaniard, who will face Daniel Altamier in the round of 16.

Arthur Fils claimed an important victory in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 against Flavio Cobolli with a score of 6-2, 6-4, advancing to the round of 16 in the Monegasque tournament. However, in his celebration, his exuberance got the best of him, and when he hit the ball into the stands, he overdid it and ended up hitting a fan. Yet, Fils immediately realized his mistake and apologized for the unintended inconvenience caused.
Performance: perfect ✅
