Carlos Alcaraz is ready to rewrite his ATP Finals journey, determined to start his campaign with a resounding win over Norwegian rival Casper Ruud. Reflecting on last year’s debut, where he stumbled against Alexander Zverev in the opener but still managed to reach the semifinals, Alcaraz admits he’s making strategic changes this time around to go all the way.
Alcaraz enters the Finals fresh from a breakthrough season, securing four titles, including major wins at the French Open and Wimbledon. Dominating on the court, he also claimed titles at the Indian Wells Masters and the China Open. However, after a recent stumble against Ugo Humbert in the Round of 16 at the Paris Masters, Alcaraz knows he has to step up his game.
Meanwhile, Ruud, on a tough four-match losing streak, sees this as a chance to break his slump. The Norwegian needs to summon every ounce of skill and resilience to face off against Alcaraz, who is determined to make a statement in his opening match.
With both players hungry for victory and Alcaraz eager to prove he’s ready to dominate the Finals, this clash promises intense action and high stakes. All eyes are on Turin as the young Spaniard aims to show the world that he’s not just a Grand Slam winner—he’s here to conquer the ATP Finals.
