Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils are playing the second set of the final. The first set started in an unbeatable way for the tennis player from El Palmar, who got the break in the first game and defended his first blank serve. With the score at 3-1, Alcaraz once again broke the Frenchman’s serve to practically end the first set. Finally he defended both his serves and closed the set with a resounding 6-2. The Murcian is looking for his second trophy of the year against the Frenchman after winning the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the course and the only one he had pending. The world number one reaches the final after leaving Rinderknech, Royer, Kachanov (against whom he lost the first set) and Rublev on the way. Fils, number 40 in the ATP ranking, eliminated Majchrzak (against whom he lost the first set), Halys, Lehecka and Mensik. The Frenchman has two ATP 500 titles (Tokyo and Hamburg) and one ATP 250 (Lyon) in his record. Alcaraz has faced Fils on two occasions and has emerged victorious both times.
