Carlos Alcaraz He had to defeat Khachanov to get into the quarterfinals of 1,000 Masters in Rome (6-3, 3-6 and 7-5). The first set traced it and in the third wasted an initial advantage that did not deconcentrate at all, and could “return” in time to raise his arms before a tennis player with whom he already has a 5-0 in his face to face. Again an irregular version of the Murcian was seen, mixing his great shots with some more mistakes.
The triumph allows you to reach the last last round and sign a new surprising record with 22 years freshly complied: you already know what it is to reach the quarterfinals in all the 1,000 Masters category tournaments. Four has won them: Indian Wells (2023 and 2024), Miami (2022), Montecarlo (2025) and Madrid (2022 and 2023).
In Cincinnati he has played the final. In Canada, Shanghai, Paris and, now and for the moment, Rome, the rooms are their limit. If you want to go further in the Italian capital you will have to overcome one of the sensations of the year, Jack Draper, who has already defeated him once this course on a hard track.
