Alcaraz Aims to Match Nadal’s Historic 2010 Clay Sweep

Carlos Alcaraz is poised to attempt the rare feat of winning all five Masters 1000 events on clay plus the French Open by the season's end, mirroring Rafael Nadal's dominance in 2010.

Carlos Alcaraz is setting his sights on a historic achievement, aiming to replicate Rafael Nadal's 2010 dominance by winning all five Masters 1000 events on clay and the French Open by June 7th. This "Grand Slam" of clay would be a monumental task, pitting the young Spaniard against the legends of the sport.

While Alcaraz prepares for this challenge, other ATP stars face mixed fortunes. Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered another early exit, falling to Francisco Cerúndolo, while rising Brazilian João Fonseca secured a decisive win against Gabriel Diallo. Roberto Bautista is set to open the Monte-Carlo Country Club center court against Matteo Berrettini.
