Carlos Alcaraz is building something terrifying at Roland Garros.
With every match, he inches closer to becoming not just a champion—but a force that devours anything in his path. On a windy Paris afternoon, Alcaraz overcame a rare second-set stumble to dismantle Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan in four sets: 6-1, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. It was less a comeback than a cold, calculated takedown.
For Alcaraz, this wasn’t just another win. It marked his **ninth straight victory** at Roland Garros and improved his jaw-dropping record on the clay of Paris to **20-3**. Even more stunning? He’s now won **17 of his last 18 matches**, sending a clear message to the rest of the field: if you’re coming for this crown, you better be ready to bleed for it.
The first set was a demolition. Alcaraz came out swinging with blistering pace, commanding angles, and his signature blend of flair and firepower. Marozsan barely had time to breathe as he was steamrolled 6-1 in under 30 minutes.
But then, the unexpected happened.
Alcaraz lost focus—momentarily. The second set was disjointed, filled with loose errors and hesitation. Marozsan capitalized and stole the set 6-4. A gasp went through the Paris crowd. Was this going to be another clay-court thriller? Could the unthinkable be on the cards?
Not for long.
The third set began with a different Alcaraz. Not rattled. Not scared. But pissed off. The slump? A memory. The hesitation? Gone. What followed was a relentless display of aggression, court coverage, and sheer will. Alcaraz blasted through the next two sets 6-1, 6-2 like a man possessed.
Marozsan barely had time to adjust before he was run over.
This win wasn’t just about the numbers—it was about the mindset. Alcaraz didn’t panic when he lost the second set. He responded like a champion. That’s what separates contenders from legends in the making.
At just 21, Alcaraz is rewriting the rules of clay-court domination. His game continues to evolve, and so does his hunger. The French Open is far from over, but this performance proves he’s more than ready to fight for the title, no matter what the draw throws at him.
If this version of Alcaraz shows up in the next rounds, there may be no stopping him. He’s not just surviving Roland Garros—he’s taking it over.
