Debut with a somewhat unexpected defeat for the baby tennis prodigy Carlos Alcaraz at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo.
The n.11 in the world, highly anticipated in his first participation on clay in the Principality, was eliminated in three sets by the American Sebastian Korda, with a score of 7-6, 6-7, 6-3.
The 21-year-old from Florida thus took partial revenge for the final of the Masters Next Gen last year just when the youngest rival, now considered by all a predestined for the world number 1, seemed to be in a great moment of form, confirmed by victory in the Miami Masters 1000.
