Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has won the Monte Carlo Masters title after defeating star player Lorenzo Musetti in the final showdown. The Spain-born star player has earned his first-ever 1000 ATP title this season.

This win has allowed him to topple Alexander Zverev to become the new world number two.
Alcaraz has won the game with a scoreline of 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. The star player failed to get a fine start after he was baffled by Musetti's game plan in the opening set. However, the four-time Grand Slam winner staged his remarkable comeback in the second set and smacked breathtaking shots to level up the game, forcing it to the decider.
