Felix Auger-Aliassime will be the first opponent of
Carlos Alcaraz in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000. We knew after the draw that the player from Murcia was going to face Felix or a player from the qualifiers and the Canadian has defeated Luca Nardi (Novak Djokovic's executioner in Indian Wells) in two sets (6-2/6-3) to reach the second round and be able to play against the current world number 3;
Obviously Carlos is the favorite to win the duel. In Indian Wells they already faced in this 2024 and Carlitos passed over him without giving him any option. Of course, Felix on clay has always been a complicated opponent and if Carlitos is not used to his full potential, he could have some problems. It wouldn't be the first time that the Canadian beat him...
