With Carlos Alcaraz in his sights: Christian Garin already has a rival for his debut at the Masters 1000 in Rome

The national tennis player will face a local guest in his premiere at the Italian event. If he wins, he will collide with the new sensation on the world circuit.

After his elimination in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Madrid against Félix Auger-Aliassime, Christian Garin is preparing to participate in the Masters 1000 in Rome , where the draw took place today. The result of this gave him a very accessible rival for the start, but a complex second round in case he kept pushing.

Foro Italico’s first rival will be local player Francesco Passaro (366th ATP) 21-year-old player invited by the organization and without much experience of the circuit, the Chilean therefore appears to be a clear favorite. If he wins, his rival will be the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (9th) free because he is seeded and will come to this event at six or seven worlds, depending on what he will do in Madrid, where he is already in the semi-finals, after beating Rafael Nadal for the first time.

Gago and Carlitos have never faced each other on the circuit. At just 18 years old, the Hispanic already holds the Miami Masters 1000 crown, in addition to having recently won the title in Conde de Godó and his performance in the contest in the Spanish capital, where this Saturday he will face world number one Novak Djokovic.
