Carlos and Monfils last encounter
There is no doubt this has been another great season for Alcaraz where he has won 2 Grand Slams and is currently the World number 2, however, the start of the hard court season has not really been great for him where he failed to get through to the playoffs in Cincinnati. This was also the tournament where he faced his first loss against Gael Monfils. This loss was quite shocking and it was also the rare occasion where we saw the young lovable Spanish player lose his composure and smash his racquet after the disappointing loss against the French man.

This was perhaps one of the terrible phases Alcaraz was going through and this loss followed a disappointing second-round exit in the US Open as well. This will be a great opportunity for Carlitos to finally get his redemption and beat Monfils to go through to the playoffs.
