Carlos Alcaraz has won the biggest title of his 2025 season so far after winning the Monte Carlo Masters.
Alcaraz beat a hampered Lorenzo Musetti in the final, losing just one game after dropping the first set.
Despite the Italian being unable to showcase his true ability in the final, Alcaraz predicted Musetti to achieve big things in the future.
It is not just Musetti that has faced obstacles in recent times, with Alcaraz admitting his own secret problem that has impacted his life over the past month.
After winning his first ATP Masters 1000 title in over a year, Alcaraz has received messages from many of his peers.

Where is Carlos Alcaraz playing next?
There will be little time for Alcaraz to celebrate his Monte Carlo Masters victory, as he is already in the draw for the Barcelona Open.
Alcaraz is a two-time champion at the ATP 500 tournament, but withdrew from the Barcelona Open last year due to a right arm injury.
The 21-year-old is scheduled to play exclusively either qualifiers or lucky losers in his opening two matches, with Alcaraz competing against young American Ethan Quinn in the first round.
If he continues to progress through the tournament, Alcaraz could play top 10 players Alex de Minaur, Andrey Rublev or defending champion Casper Ruud.
