Alcaraz, who has yet to drop a set this tournament, won 6-2 6-2 in 81 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 19-year-old world number two will play Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final after he beat Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti 6-4 5-7 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s so special to play a final here in Barcelona, a tournament that I love playing,” said Alcaraz.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US Open champion, who missed the Monte Carlo Masters last week because of hand and back problems, is chasing a third title of the season after wins in Buenos Aires and Indian Wells. <\/span><\/p>\n

Defending champion Iga Swiatek will play Aryna Sabalenka in the Stuttgart Open final for the second successive year after semi-final opponent Ons Jabeur retired hurt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The world number one was 3-0 ahead in the first set when Tunisian Jabeur was forced to pull out with a calf problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t know what Ons’ situation is, but I really respect the fact that she came out and she tried and she wanted to see how it’s going to go,” said French and US Open champion Swiatek. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I told her we’re probably going to play the Roland Garros final, so we’ll see each other there. She’s a fighter, so she’s going to be back quick. I just hope it’s nothing serious.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier on Saturday, Australian Open champion Sabalenka beat Russian Anastasia Potapova in straight sets to reach the final in Stuttgart for a third successive year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Belarusian world number two, who lost the 2021 final to Ashleigh Barty before being beaten by Swiatek last year, won 6-1 6-2 in just 58 minutes as she chases a third title of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n
