The Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz started the ATP 1000 tournament in Rome with a win and will be number one in the tennis world rankings again after the Masters. After a bye, the 20-year-old defeated his compatriot Albert Ramos Viñolas 6:4,6:1 in the second round on Saturday. Alcaraz already passed Novak Djokovic in the ATP ranking when he appeared in Rome.
Alcaraz celebrated his 20th victory in the 21st match on clay this year against Ramos Viñolas. Alcaraz, who recently won the tournaments in Barcelona and Madrid, is serving in Rome for the first time. There he is the big challenger to the six-time winner and defending champion Djokovic, who is defending 1,000 points in the Italian capital. It is the first time this year that the two stars are taking part in the same tournament. A clash is only possible in the final on May 21, a week before the start of the French Open.
