Sending eggs to win the championship against Musetti to reach the second place in the world, Acre: This is the result of persistence

Alcaraz finally won his first Masters title of the new season in Monte Carlo! However, the story behind the victory was not as glamorous as it was when the highlight came.

Even before Alcaraz arrived in Monte Carlo, the Spaniard had been given great expectations: a first win and a title.

The reason why everyone is looking forward to the Spaniard is because looking at the whole draw, with his clay strength, he really stands out from the crowd. Coupled with the fact that Djokovic, Zverev Jr. and other masters were eliminated ahead of schedule, the young, strong and passionate Alcaraz has become the absolute favorite to win the championship after finally breaking the window paper of the winless debut in the main event.

In the final against Italy's clay-court sensation Musetti for the title, almost everyone before the match thought that Alcaraz had the best chance of sweeping the Italians to win the title.

Unexpectedly, from the first set, everyone really underestimated Musetti. The Italian, who had lost the first service game, not only did not completely surrender the initiative of the match, but fought back and broke Alcaraz's two service games in succession, turning from a passive side to an active side, leading 4-1.

This reversal scale is a somewhat large script, which surprised the fans and netizens in the live broadcast room. It wasn't until Musetti won the first set 6-3 that someone bluntly said that the Italian should not be underestimated, "If Duck Duck doesn't think about how to defeat the enemy, he will most likely end up becoming the biggest paver in Monca." ”

I don't know if the shouts of fans and netizens were heard by Alcaraz, from the second set, after the Spaniard strengthened his stability and offensive firepower, he instantly changed the situation on the court, broke Musetti's serve twice, took the lead to the commanding heights of this set 5-0, and finally won the second set 6-1, tying the big score.

I thought that judging from the faces of the two in the first two sets, the deciding set would be extremely intense, but I didn't expect it to become Alcaraz's one-man show.

After Musetti's unexpected injury, Alcaraz became the absolute devil, and finally ended the fight by sending eggs, reversing the Italian and winning the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time.

Speaking about his title after the match, Alcaraz was also very emotional: "This victory means a lot to me. I've been through some lows in the last few months and to be able to stand here and lift the trophy today is the result of my perseverance. ”

Alcaraz's performance after winning the Rotterdam 500 this season is hard to put into words. has been regarded as the absolute favorite to win the championship several times, but has repeatedly dropped the chain at critical moments. For example, the Indian Wells Masters was met by Draper as they got closer and closer to winning the championship; He went to Miami with great ambition but was severely defeated by Goffin.

After coming to Monte Carlo, Alcaraz, who was labeled as a "convulsive" by fans and netizens, also had many twists and turns on the road to promotion: his debut against Cerundolo was a reversal; The big battle with his peers Fezes is a reversal; In the final, he competed with Musetti for the title, or reversed.

Now seeing Alcaraz win the championship in this situation, he naturally empathizes with his remarks that "this is the result of perseverance".

Alcaraz also gave an answer to his ability to survive such a difficult situation, "Every time I fell behind, I heard the sound of the waves under the cliff, and that sense of danger made me more focused. ”

Musetti's post-match remarks about Alcaraz proved the Spaniard's terrible regain of focus: "When I saw the fire in his eyes in the second set, I knew it was time to book a return ticket. ”

The belief of not giving up in the midst of reversal finally allowed Alcaraz to return home in Monte Carlo.

With his victory over Musetti, Alcaraz not only received a huge prize of more than 7.84 million yuan, but also officially replaced Zverev Jr. in the latest ATP world rankings this week and moved to second place.

In addition, winning the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time also allowed Alcaraz to set three records in one fell swoop: first, he became the youngest champion in the history of Monte Carlo after the Spanish legend Nadal in 2008; 2. Become the third player in history to win six Masters titles before the age of 22, ahead of Alcaraz Nadal and Deyo; 3. Tying the record for the number of Medvedev Masters titles, both of them are tied for tenth place with six.

Alcaraz's inspirational story with the theme of "persistence" in Monte Carlo, when fans and netizens praised the young Spaniard wildly, Real Madrid also sent a message to congratulate him for the first time, "Congratulations to dear Carlos Alcaraz on his brilliant victory at the Monte Carlo Masters!" The Real Madrid family is proud of our members for continuing to write history. ”(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
