Carlos Alcaraz reached the Barcelona Open final for the third time in four years, where he will face Holger Rune for the title.<\/b><\/p>\n

Spanish world number two Alcaraz, bidding for his second title in seven days<\/a>, swept aside France’s Arthur Fils 6-2 6-4.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz won his home tournament in 2022 and 2023 before missing it last year because of injury.<\/p>\n

“Since I was a little kid, I watched the final every Sunday,” Alcaraz, the reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion, said.<\/p>\n

“Being in the final again means a lot, in front of my people and my friends who came from Murcia [Alcaraz’s home city].<\/p>\n

“Let’s see if tomorrow we will end the day with the trophy.”<\/p>\n

Denmark’s Rune secured his place in the final with a 6-3 6-2 win over Russia’s Karen Khachanov.<\/p>\n

The victory also ensured Rune will return to the world’s top 10 for the first time since April 2024 when the rankings are updated on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
