What if we already had the biggest tennis surprise of the season, this Monday, May 15? Imagine that Hungary's Fabian Marozsan had never won a match on the ATP Tour before attacking the prestigious Masters 1000 in Rome. However, we are talking about a 23-year-old player, who was therefore destined not to last long in his third round against Carlos Alcaraz, current world number 2, and who will become number 1 again next Monday.
