Alcaraz has a great chance to win his first 1000 title of this year after winning the ATP 500 Rotterdam Open.

I’m really happy to give them the chance to watch one of my finals again. I tried to take the chances he gave me in the match. He saved a lot of break points and match points, but I’m really happy to [have] thought about myself,” said Alcaraz of his 13-month absence in Masters 1000 finals.
