Carlos Alcaraz is one win away from his third Barcelona Open title…
The 21-year-old Spanish tennis star, the top seed of the tournament, beat No. 14 Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday to reach the final.
Alcaraz will next play Holger Rune for the Barcelona Open title.
No. 2-ranked Alcaraz holds a 2-1 record against the 13th-ranked Rune. The pair have yet to meet on clay. Alcaraz won their last meeting at 2023 Wimbledon.
Alcaraz won his first Monte Carlo Masters title last weekend and will be searching for his third title of the year and 19th of his career.
He won the Barcelona Open in 2022 and 2023.
Rune has four career titles.
“Since I was a little kid, I was here on Sundays watching the final,” Alcaraz said. “I played twice here, so being in a final here in Barcelona again means a lot. It’s been a really fun and great week, and let’s see if we can end tomorrow with a trophy.”
