Alcaraz was the favorite going into the final, but Fils had given him trouble before, pushing him to the brink of defeat in Monte Carlo last year—winning the first set, holding triple break point at 5-all in the second and even leading 3-1 in the third before falling, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

The Frenchman had also taken out two seeds en route to this final, including Jannik Sinner’s conqueror, Jakub Mensik, in the semifinals.

But Alcaraz broke Fils in the very first game and that set the tone for the entire match, as he had an answer for everything the Frenchman threw at him, winning five games in a row at one point to go from 5-2 to 6-2, 4-0, and eventually breaking serve one last time to close it out.

On match point, Fils ripped a huge forehand down the line that drew a short ball, and attempted another huge forehand putaway—but Alcaraz was right there, rifling one last crosscourt forehand winner.

The Spaniard had kind words at the trophy ceremony for Fils, who had reached his first final since coming back to the tour after a back injury kept him out of action for much of 2025 and even early 2026.

“It is a pleasure to share the court with you, man, truly,” he said. “More than making the results and everything, it makes me really happy to see you on the court once again. I know you’ve struggled physically, struggled with injury, and I’ve been through that. To start again and play such great tennis and making finals, it makes me really happy to share the court, share the locker, share the tournament with you.”

As for Alcaraz, he just keeps piling on the numbers.

He’s now off to a 12-0 start to the year, going 7-0 to win the Australian Open—which made him the youngest man in tennis history to complete the Career Slam—and 5-0 in Doha this past week.

He also extends his winning streak on outdoor hard courts to 30 matches in a row, his last loss on an outdoor hard court coming almost a year ago to David Goffin, in his opening match in Miami.

And he’s now 68-5 since the start of last April—he’s reached the final at 12 of the 13 tournaments he’s played in that span, winning nine titles.

The world No. 1 will next play at Indian Wells in two weeks.
