Barcelona Open: Alcaraz Advances In Opener, Musetti And De Minaur Progress
Carlos Alcaraz: World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz made a strong start to his campaign at the Barcelona Open, defeating Finland’s Otto Virtanen 6-4, 6-3 to move into the second round of the ATP 500 event on Tuesday.
Returning to action after his runner-up finish at the Monte-Carlo Masters, where he fell to Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz looked composed in his first match on home soil this season. The Spaniard, now ranked No. 2, has an opportunity to reclaim the top spot with a title-winning run in Barcelona.
Despite requiring a medical timeout for an arm concern at the end of the opening set, Alcaraz showed little sign of discomfort thereafter, wrapping up the contest in one hour and 25 minutes. He will next face Tomas Machac, who battled past Sebastian Baez 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
