Spain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates with the trophy after winning against Italy's Lorenzo Musetti the Monte Carlo ATP Masters Series Tournament final tennis match at the Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on Sunday-AFP MONACO, Apr 13 (AP): Carlos Alcaraz defeated an injury-striken Lorenzo Musetti 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 to win the Monte Carlo final on Sunday and secure his sixth Masters 1000 career title.
Alcaraz cruised to his first Monte Carlo trophy and his 18th tour-level victory. The 21-year-old Spaniard will reach No. 2 in the world rankings following the triumph in Monaco.
Musetti started showing signs of a right-leg injury in the third set and received treatment at 0-3. Playing in his first Masters 1000 final, the 23-year-old Italian had trouble moving and keeping up with Alcaraz toward the end of the match.
"This is not the way I want to win a match, I really feel sorry for him," Alcaraz said. "Just really happy to have won the Monte Carlo for the first time. It's been a really difficult week, with a lot of difficult
situations, I'm really proud of myself how I dealt with everything."
Alcaraz has struggled at times this year and was coming off an opening-round loss to David Goffin in Miami.
