In particular, the matches against Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic on Friday and Saturday in Madrid took a lot out of Carlos Alcaraz's substance, in the final against Alexander Zverev the Spaniard was then carried by the euphoria of the fans. But like earlier in the year, when Alcaraz made his tournament schedule very cleverly, he is now taking a break to prepare for the next big goal, the French Open in Paris. And so the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Rome will take place without the 19-year-old.

After the tableau has already been drawn, the lucky loser Emil Ruusuvuori goes straight into the second round. Alcaraz would have started in seventh place with the prospect of meeting Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, as in the Madrid final.
