Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune Set for Thrilling Conde de Godó Final
The stage is set for an electrifying final at the Open Banc Sabadell 2025, with Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune preparing to face off on the Rafa Nadal court at the Real Club Tenis Barcelona. According to reports from MARCA, the two tennis stars will clash in a highly anticipated match that promises to be an exciting encounter.
As noted by MARCA, Alcaraz and Rune have a history of intense battles on the court, with the pair having faced off on three previous occasions. The Spanish player currently leads the head-to-head 2-1, having secured victories at the Next Gen ATP Finals in 2021 and Wimbledon in 2023. Rune’s only win against Alcaraz came in the quarterfinals of the Masters 1000 in Paris in 2022.
MARCA reports that Alcaraz has been in impressive form throughout the Conde de Godó, not dropping a single set en route to the final. His victories over Ethan Quinn, Laslo Djere, Alex de Miñaur, and Arthur Fils have showcased his skill and determination on the court. Meanwhile, Rune has had a slightly tougher run, dropping a set in his match against Sebastián Báez in the round of 16. However, he has since bounced back with wins over Albert Ramos, Casper Ruud, and Karen Khachanov.
The Murcian tennis player, as quoted by MARCA, is seeking to make history by winning his third consecutive title at the Conde de Godó, having lifted the trophy in 2022 and 2023. A win today would also see him achieve a remarkable double in the two biggest events on clay, a feat not achieved since Rafael Nadal in 2018.
MARCA notes that Alcaraz has been on a roll, with nine consecutive wins on clay following his triumph at the Masters 1000 in Montecarlo. If he can overcome Rune in the final, he will cement his position as one of the top players on the circuit.
The final between Alcaraz and Rune is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with both players eager to claim the title. As MARCA reports, the match will be a closely contested affair, with the outcome hanging in the balance.
In related news, MARCA has reported that Alcaraz’s recent form has been impressive, with the player demonstrating his skill and determination on the court.
