Alcalas defeated Sina and won the first ATP1000 Rome Masters championship

In the early morning of May 19, in the singles final of the ATP1000 Rome Masters, Spanish star Alcaras defeated the world's No. 1 Italian star Sina in two straight sets and won the first championship.

After the previous generation of men's tennis "three giants" Federer, Nadal and Djokovic gradually faded out of the arena, two young players born in the 2000s, Alcalas and Sina, made their mark and have become the new generation of leaders.

This site match is the first game after Sina's return after she lifted the ban. In February this year, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced that Sina was suspended for three months for two times in March 2024 for the banned substance steroid chlortestosterone.

The two players faced each other in the first set, and Sina struggled to hold the serve after saving the break point in the 5th game. Alcalas resolved two inventory and held the serve in the 12th game, and won 7:5 in the "Trip Seven" battle, winning the first goal. In the second set, Alcalas continued his strong performance and showed excellent defensive ability. He broke the serve for two consecutive games and led 5:0. After Sina recovered one game, Alcalas won the serve to win the game and won 6:1, achieving four consecutive victories against Sina.

This is Alcalas's 7th Masters Championship. He also collected the championships in four clay competitions (Monte Carlo Masters, Madrid Masters, Rome Masters and French Open). In an interview after the game, Alcalas said: "I am very happy to see Sina again. He entered the final without participating in the competition for three months. This is definitely not easy." Speaking of the victory, Alcalas was proud and believed that he remained focused throughout the game and firmly implemented the tactics. Next, he will compete in the French Open, and Roma's victory gives him confidence in successfully defending his title.

In the previously held singles final of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) 1000 Rome Station, Italian player Paulini defeated the famous American player Goff 2:0 and won the Rome Station championship for the first time. Paulini played double-teams in singles and doubles, and she also won the doubles championship with her compatriot Ellani and successfully defended her title at home.

After this site, the French Open, the second Grand Slam event of this season, will be held in Paris. Zheng Qinwen, a famous Chinese player who advanced to the semi-finals of women's singles at the Roma Station, will play as the No. 8 seed of women's singles.
