The Spanish, No. 3 of the PIF ATP Rankings, a series of tournaments will begin, practically without rest, to Roland Garros.

Therefore, in 2025 the Murcian has a great opportunity to compete in all those events, where he also does not defend points, giving him an opportunity to approach the top of the classification. Although even Roland Garros, where the Grand Final to Alexander Zverev won last year, defends the title of Indian Wells -his most immediate commitment -also has a lot of land to be able to add: Montecarlo, Barcelona and Rome are blank; And in Miami and Madrid, you must only defend the quarterfinals, having room to improve their results.

After the first two ATP Masters 1000 of the calendar, which will be played on a hard track on the US tour, the ATP Tour will travel to Europe to welcome the beaten earth with several historical tournaments on an area on which it has harvested a lot of success: 8 of its 17 titles in the circuit have arrived on clay, where it has grown as a player.
