Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

3R: [3] Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) vs [WC] Wu Yibing (CHN) First Meeting. Carlos Alcaraz is 21 years old and currently ranked World No. 2. He has reached a career-high ranking of No. 1. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 49-9 and has won four titles. In Shanghai, he has a record of 3-1, reaching the fourth round in 2023. Alcaraz made history as the youngest and first teenage World No. 1 and year-end No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history. He achieved this at the age of 19 in September 2022, rising from No. 32 at the end of 2021. He remained at the top of the rankings throughout the season for a total of 36 weeks. In 2022, Alcaraz defeated Ruud in the US Open final to claim the No. 1 ranking. He became the youngest men’s champion at the US Open since Sampras in 1990 and the youngest champion at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at the 2005 Roland Garros. Alcaraz also captured the 2024 Roland Garros title by earning fifth-set wins over Sinner in the semifinals and Zverev in the final. This made him the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces. In the Wimbledon finals of 2023 and 2024, Alcaraz defeated 7-time champion Djokovic to become the second man in the Open Era to win his first 4 Grand Slam finals after Federer. However, he lost to Djokovic in the 2024 Paris Olympics final. Alcaraz became the youngest ATP 500 champion at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro tournament and the third-youngest ATP Masters 1000 champion at the 2022 Miami event. He holds the record for being the youngest player to defeat both Nadal and Djokovic. He achieved this at the 2022 Madrid tournament, where he beat them on back-to-back days en route to his second ATP Masters 1000 title. It is worth noting that Alcaraz is currently on a 10-match winning streak after winning the title in Beijing. He has a record of 18-2 against players ranked outside the top 50 this season. His losses came against No. 117 Monteiro in the Rio de Janeiro first round (retired) and No. 74 van de Zandschulp in the US Open second round. He aims to achieve his 100th career hard court win (99-31). On the other hand, Wu Yibing is 24 years old and currently ranked World No. 560. His career-high ranking is No. 54. In 2024, he has a win-loss record of 2-2, with a record of 3-2 in Shanghai. Wu rose from No. 1,869 in March 2022 to No. 54 in May 2023 after a period of absence from March 2019 to January 2022 due to injuries. He saved 4 championship points against Isner at the 2023 Dallas tournament after defeating No. 8 Fritz in the semifinals. This made him the first Chinese man to win an ATP Tour title, reach an ATP Tour final, and earn a Top-10 win. Wu qualified for the 2022 US Open and became the first Chinese man to reach the third round in the history of the tournament. He lost to World No. 1 and defending champion Medvedev. In 2022, Wu had a main draw and qualifying record of 40-7 across all levels. He won three ATP Challenger Tour titles and an ITF World Tennis Tour title in Orange Park, FL, USA. Wu won the boys’ singles title and boys’ doubles title with Hsu at the 2017 US Open, becoming the World No. 1 junior. A week later, as a wildcard ranked 496th, he won the Shanghai Challenger title. Wu is playing in his first ATP Masters 1000 third round and aims to become the fourth lowest-ranked player to reach the round of 16 in ATP Masters 1000 series history. He has a record of 1-4 against Top 10 players and hopes to achieve the biggest win of his career to match the best Chinese result in the Shanghai tournament (4th round by Zhang Zhizhen in 2023). The lowest-ranked players to reach the ATP Masters 1000 round of 16 are Darren Cahill (ranked 1013) in 1994 Indian Wells, Tommy Haas (ranked 882) in 2004 Indian Wells, Kei Nishikori (ranked 576) in 2024 Montreal, Chris Woodruff (ranked 550) in 1999 Indian Wells, and Milos Raonic (ranked 545) in 2023 Toronto.
