With just turned 20, ‘Carlitos’ can boast of the great 2023 that he has had in which he has only lost 3 games. Norrie, Sinner and the aforementioned Marozsan are the only tennis players who have beaten the man from Palmar this year. In addition, he has 4 trophies behind him. Buenos Aires, Barcelona and the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Madrid.

When he jumps onto the track in this edition, there will already be three Alcaraz participations in the final draw on French soil -in 2020 he was dropped by Vukic in the qualifiers-. In his debut, and after winning all three qualifying matches, he defeated Bernabé Zapata and Nikoloz Basilashvili and was eliminated by Struff in the third round.

Already in 2022, the Murcian had already shown what he was capable of winning, among other championships, the Masters 1000 in Madrid and Miami.
