He will meet first-time ATP Tour finalist Jaume Munar in the championship match. Munar improved his overall record in Marbella to 12-2 on Saturday after winning a grueling 7-6(4), 6-4 battle against 17-year-old Carlos Alcaraz.

Munar, 23, was contesting his ninth consecutive match in Marbella after reaching the ATP Challenger Tour final last week, at this same venue, for the second year in a row. He maintained his momentum at the ATP 250 event, dropping just three games against second seed Fabio Fognini along the way.

“I feel happy and excited. I’ve been working a lot during the past [few] months," Munar said. "It’s a gift for me to be here in a final, and especially in Marbella which is one of my favourite places. I feel excited… I have no words."

Munar stayed calm as he weathered nearly two hours of Alcaraz’s huge groundstrokes. The 17-year-old frequently blasted highlight-reel worthy winners off his forehand, but Munar stayed toe-to-toe by matching his aggression. They stayed deadlocked into the tie-break, where Munar finally pulled away to take the opening set.


The 23-year-old broke first in the second set after a marathon 10-minute game, converting his sixth break point with a wicked passing shot up the line. It was a strategy that paid dividends for Munar, who retrieved everything Alcaraz sent his way and waited patiently for a chance to pull his opponent away from the baseline.

Although he was broken while serving for the match, Munar redeemed himself emphatically a game later with another screaming passing shot to set up match point. He closed out the victory to reach his first ATP-level final, where he will face countryman Carreno Busta in an all-Spanish final.

“A difficult match for sure, but I’ve been through difficult matches all week long. Pablo is also a very hard hitter and an intense player,” Munar said. “It’s going to be something similar [to playing Alcaraz] but of course, Pablo has a lot more experience. He has won titles in the last years, and he’s one of the best players in the world. We know each other a lot. I have all the best wishes for tomorrow, but it’s going to be a tough one.”
