Alcaraz vs. Fils: Monte-Carlo Preview & Pick
This would seem to be an ideal time for the 21-year-old Spaniard and the 20-year-old Frenchman to face off for the first time as pros.
Over the past month, we’ve seen surges and title runs from young guys like Jack Draper and Jakub Mensik. But Fils has been just a step or two behind.
In Indian Wells, he made the quarters and nearly beat Daniil Medvedev; in Miami he also made the quarters, before losing to Mensik, the eventual champion. Fils, long touted for the Top 10, has crept up to No. 15; after his straight-set win on Thursday over Andrey Rublev, he looks set to move higher.
