Carlos Alcaraz is proving that his prodigious talent translates to any surface.
This win could not come at a better time for Alcaraz. To start, he will vacate the No. 2 spot in the ATP world rankings and retake the No. 1 spot, forcing 2023 French Open champion Novak Djokovic back down to No. 2. With Wimbledon just one week away, that could definitely impact seeding.
But more importantly, it shows he's mastering grass. In 2022, Alcaraz played just one grass tournament, and that was Wimbledon. He lost in the fourth round, and since Wimbledon is the finale of grass court season, he played clay and hard court tournaments for the rest of the year. Alcaraz is excellent on clay and hard courts , but he hadn't been seriously tested on grass — until now. And he passed with flying colors. Now he's likely headed to London to prep for Wimbledon, and he's got the momentum of his first grass court win to help propel him to new heights.
