Carlos Alcaraz has started preparations for his Monte-Carlo Masters campaign and was recently observed practicing with a new hairstyle. Following a devastating defeat at the Miami Open, the Spaniard will be looking to make a statement in the upcoming clay-court competition.
Alcaraz will compete in the Masters 1000 event in Monte-Carlo after losing to David Goffin in the second round of the Miami Open, 7-5, 4-6, 3-6. A family trip to Mexico seemed to boost the Spaniard’s energies before the clay swing.
His participation in the 2025 edition of the tournament will mark his second appearance. He last competed at the 2022 Monte Carlo-Masters, where he suffered a second-round exit, falling to the USA’S Sebastian Korda.
Alcaraz has begun practicing on the clay courts and was recently seen executing a succession of intense backhands and forehands. Moreover, his new hairstyle, featuring faded sides, also became a highlight.

Alacaraz has had a decent season so far, reaching the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open and the Qatar Open, followed by a semifinal run at the Indian Wells Masters. Notably, he claimed his only title of the season at the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam. The World No. 3 will aim to excel in the clay courts tournament leading up to the Paris Major.
