Showman extraordinaire Carlos Alcaraz transformed a break point into a sensational display of tennis brilliance.
During his second outing on clay this season, Alcaraz created the most jaw-dropping point of the year at the Monte-Carlo tournament.

Facing a break point against Daniel Altmaier, Alcaraz dashed forward to execute a delicate drop shot, only to watch Altmaier respond with a powerful down-the-line shot.
Without hesitation, Alcaraz sprinted to intercept the speeding ball and unleashed an absolutely mind-blowing running tweener lob that soared into the corner, before regaining his position and finishing the point with style.
Experience this wild and imaginative moment from various angles here:
Fueled by momentum, Alcaraz powered through 11 of the final 13 games, overwhelming the German qualifier with a score of 6-3, 6-1.
The second-seed Spaniard is set to battle 12th-seeded French rival Arthur Fils in the quarterfinals of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. This marks the inaugural clash between the reigning champions of Roland Garros and Wimbledon and the exceptionally gifted Fils, who dominated Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-3 earlier today.
