BARCELONA: The 18-years-old Tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has defeated his mentor Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3, 6-2 in the final to win the Barcelona Open.
The teenage Spaniard, who enjoyed a delightful season, has now won three titles during the period.
Although the scorecard of the final between the two Spaniards looks straightforward, the youngster had to go display a lot of endurance as he first competed in the semi-final for three hours and 40 minutes to defeat Alex de Minaur in the longest best-of-three match of the season.
In the final, Carreno Busta found it hard to get the rhythm against the passionate Alcaraz, who was striking heavily.
It is pertinent to mention here that Alcaraz is projected to climb to No. 9 in the ATP Rankings on Monday, making him the youngest player to crack the Top 10 since Rafael Nadal did it exactly 17 years ago after lifting his first Barcelona trophy.
