Carlos Alcaraz dominated Stefanos Tsitsipas to win his third title of the season and retain his Barcelona Open crown.

The 19-year-old Spaniard triumphed 6-3 6-4, adding to his earlier wins in Buenos Aires and Indian Wells.

After winning his ninth title, Alcaraz said: "It's incredible. To feel this energy and lift the trophy in Barcelona in front of my family and friends, and most members of my team are here as well.

"Playing this level and to lift the trophy in front of them is a good feeling for me."

With Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal both troubled by injuries, Alcaraz's impressive form could make him the favourite heading into the French Open.

Meanwhile, in Banja Luka, Serbia's Dusan Lajovic overcame Andrey Rublev to secure his second ATP title.
