–

No doubt the offering in Barcelona was superior to the one in Munich, with Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils squaring off for the second time in two weeks.

Their first of what will surely be many career meetings – at 20, Fils is even younger than Alcaraz – in Monte Carlo last week was a tremendous match. This one, all Alcaraz.

In Munich, the underratede Francisco Cerundolo will look to spoil a No. 1 v No. 2 final by trying to upset American Ben Shelton.

It didn’t work, so the top two seeds are in the final.

(Barcelona and Munich are six hours ahead of EDT).
