Alcaraz Surprised by Sinner's Monte Carlo Return

World number one Carlos Alcaraz revealed his surprise at Jannik Sinner's participation in the Monte Carlo Masters, noting the Italian's quick turnaround from Miami to Monaco and the difficulties of adapting to different surfaces with minimal preparation time.

Despite his initial surprise, Alcaraz acknowledged Sinner's adaptability, highlighted by his doubles performance. The Spaniard also noted that Sinner could potentially reclaim the world number one ranking in Monte Carlo due to having fewer points to defend this clay season following last year's suspension.
