Rune Ends Carlitos’ Clay Streak in Barcelona

Wow, what a twist at the Barcelona Open! Carlitos (Alcaraz) was on fire with a 9-match clay win streak, but Holger Rune—his old junior rival—stopped him cold in the final. Rune edged out a tense first-set tiebreak and then cruised through the second set. Big respect between these two; Alcaraz even gave Rune props post-match. Anyone else think this rivalry could define the next era of clay court tennis? Also, fingers crossed that Carlitos’ hip issue isn’t serious before Madrid! #Alcaraz #Rune #BarcelonaOpen #TennisRivalry #ClayCourt #Sports
