Carlos Alcaraz targets clay court sweep before Roland Garros

World number one Carlos Alcaraz begins his clay court campaign against Sebastian Baez at the Monte Carlo Masters, aiming to win a historic streak of titles before the French Open.

Despite failing to win Indian Wells or Miami, Alcaraz enters the Monte Carlo Masters determined to start the clay season strong. He faces Baez in the second round.

The Spaniard has set his sights on winning Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, and Rome consecutively, a feat never before achieved, to prepare for a potential Roland Garros victory.
