Former world No. 1 Justine Henin has commented on Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz`s victory at the Monte Carlo Masters tournament.
`Alcaraz faced several difficulties throughout this week, but he found a way out of challenging situations and was able to adapt. His success in the second set of the final match is particularly telling. Musetti, having expended a lot of energy, began to experience physical exhaustion.
Alcaraz flawlessly identified his opponent`s weakness and capitalized on it. The ability to recognize such moments is crucial. From an outside perspective, it might seem effortless, as if a single move suffices to achieve success. This is the impression he conveys, which is why we describe it in such terms. However, his capacity to turn the tide of a match is simply phenomenal. It`s a remarkable start to the clay-court season!` Henin stated, as quoted by Eurosport.
In the Monte Carlo final, Alcaraz defeated Italian Lorenzo Musetti with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. This victory propelled the Spaniard back to the second position in the world rankings.
