The 2025 Barcelona Men's Open will be a youth matchup, and Alcaraz is just one step away from winning the treble

On the 19th local time, the 2025 Barcelona Men's Open staged a "youth duel", Spain's top seed, 21-year-old Alcaraz, defeated the 20-year-old French star Arthur Fils again 6:2, 6:4, and returned to the men's singles final with 4 consecutive hurdles, only one step away from winning the third crown of the ATP 500 clay event.

Alcaraz is a cut ahead

"It's a big deal to be in the final against Barcelona again, especially in front of my family and compatriots." Alcaraz, who is extremely popular and has a hot hand, continued the momentum of last week's Monte Carlo Tennis Masters quarterfinals after a three-set reversal against Fez, and played a variety of plays at home to suppress the baseline offensive of young opponents in straight sets, "The first thing to thank is sunshine." The sun came out and it wasn't raining, but it was very windy, so I had to get through. It's not about playing good tennis, it's about playing the ball you have to play. ”

Alcaraz, who won Barcelona twice in 2022 and 2023 and was unable to defend his title last year due to injury, has now made a comeback with a winning streak of 14 consecutive victories on clay, and his ninth consecutive victory on clay since winning Monte Carlo last week, and the homegrown darling will compete with Denmark's sixth seed Rune for the title, "When I was a kid, I would come here on Sunday to watch the final. It's been a really fun and great week, so let's see if we can finish with trophies. ”
