Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish tennis prodigy, made it clear that “the work is done” after a masterful display that culminated in his overwhelming victory over Arthur Fils in the final of the Doha Open. The world number one gave no leeway to his opponent, dominating the match with a stunning performance that resulted in a clear 6-2, 6-2. With this victory, Alcaraz maintains his perfect record in 2026, now with two wins in two tournaments.

After the match, Alcaraz expressed his satisfaction with his performance, revealing that he had a well-defined goal for this tournament. “I remember the feeling I had last year when I lost in the quarter-finals, so I came this year hungry for more, wanting to go further in this tournament,” he stated. The young tennis player was pleased with the work done alongside his team, both on and off the court, stating that he feels as if he has achieved everything he set out to do. “I feel like the work is done at this moment,” he concluded.

When asked about his self-assessment of his performance, Alcaraz, although reluctant to give a rating, acknowledged that his performance was quite positive. “I think the week went very well,” he said, adding that he feels he is constantly evolving: “I improve every day.” However, he admitted that his level of play could have been a bit higher compared to other days of competition.

On the other hand, Arthur Fils, who participated in his first final at the ATP level after a long eight-month break due to injuries, chose to focus on his achievements rather than lamenting the defeat. “It was a long eight months with my injury,” he highlighted, emphasizing the importance of reflecting on the difficult journey he has been through. “Today was not my day, but I think we did a great job,” he stated, acknowledging the support of his team.

With this triumph, Carlos Alcaraz further solidifies his position as one of the brightest prospects in world tennis, while Fils, despite the defeat, shows that his return to the circuit may just be the beginning of a new and exciting phase in his career. The future of tennis looks promising with talents like these, who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible on the court.
