Alcaraz, whose second trophy of 2026 came 20 days after he completed the career Grand Slam at the Australian Open, dictated the match from the outset and won a remarkable 89% of his first-serve points while never facing a break point during the 50-minute encounter.
“I came this year hungry for more,” said the Spanish top seed, who lost in the Doha quarter-finals last year.
“I think after every tournament, we just have to set new goals. I’m just really happy and proud of everything I have done with my team on and off the court."
With the win, Alcaraz improved to 12-0 for the year and collected his ninth ATP 500 trophy, which drew him level with Andy Murray for fourth in the category since its inception, according to the ATP.
