Holger Rune stuns Carlos Alcaraz to win Barcelona Open title

Carlos Alcaraz nearly claimed a historic victory in the Barcelona Open but fell short against Holger Rune on Sunday, unable to take his third trophy. The top-seeded Spaniard struggled mid-match due to injury, allowing Rune to capitalize and secure his first major singles title since 2023. Alcaraz had previously won the event in 2022 and 2023 but appeared out of sorts during the final, allowing Rune to rally for an easy win after breaking him early on.
