On April 13, Beijing time, in the final of the 2025 ATP Monte Carlo Masters, Rolex spokesperson and No. 2 seed Alcaraz reversed No. 13 seed Musetti 3-6/6-1/6-0 to win the sixth Masters championship in his career and the 18th crown overall!
The pair have met five times before, with Alcaraz holding the upper hand with four wins, with the most recent meeting coming at last year's Miami Masters, when the Spaniard won 6-3, 6-3. In today's match, Musetti quickly got into the groove and broke first to take a 4-1 lead, and the Italian held that advantage until the end of the set, taking a 6-3 lead.
In the second set, Alcaraz was not affected by the loss in the first set, adjusted his state in time, and won 6-1. In the deciding set, Alcaraz continued his red-hot form in the second set, while Musetti's form was still sluggish, and the Spaniard relied on three consecutive breaks to take over the match and seal the victory 6-0 and win the title 2-1 on aggregate. With this crown, Alcaraz will return to No.2 in the world ranking next week.
