Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

David Goffin from Belgium and Carlos Alcaraz from Spain have faced each other twice in their head-to-head matches, with the series tied at 1-1. In their first encounter at the Melbourne 1 tournament in Australia, Alcaraz emerged victorious with a score of 6-3 6-3. However, Goffin took the win in their second meeting at the Astana tournament in Kazakhstan, with a score of 7-5 6-3.

David Goffin, who is 34 years old, is currently ranked World No. 55. He achieved his career-high ranking of No. 7 in 2017, after an impressive season where he defeated the World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and the World No. 2 Roger Federer on his way to the Nitto ATP Finals championship match. Goffin became the sixth and final player to achieve this feat, joining the likes of Davydenko, Del Potro, Djokovic, Murray, and Nalbandian. He was also the first Belgian player to break into the Top 10, qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, defeat the World No. 1, and reach an ATP Masters 1000 final in 2019 Cincinnati.

Throughout his career, Goffin has achieved many milestones. In 2022, he earned his 300th victory and captured his sixth ATP Tour title at the Marrakech tournament. He also recorded his third win over a World No. 1 player by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the first round of the Astana tournament. Goffin has reached four Grand Slam quarterfinals, most recently at Wimbledon in 2022, and has led Belgium to the Davis Cup finals in 2015 and 2017. In his career, he has recorded a total of 350 tour-level wins.

Regarding his performance against top-ranked players, Goffin has a record of 7-25 against the Top 3 players. He is aiming to record his third consecutive win against a Top 3 player, following his victories against No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in 2022 Astana and No. 3 Alexander Zverev at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai tournament in October last year. Goffin is also looking to reach the third round of the Miami tournament, which he has not done since 2019.

On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz, who is only 21 years old, is currently ranked World No. 3. He achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the youngest and first teenage World No. 1 and year-end No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings history. Alcaraz made a record rise from No. 32 at the end of 2021 to No. 1 in September 2022, at the age of 19, holding the top spot for a total of 36 weeks.

Alcaraz’s achievements include winning the 2022 US Open, where he defeated Ruud in the final to secure the No. 1 ranking. His victory made him 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. He also won the 2024 Roland Garros, becoming the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces. Alcaraz defeated Djokovic, a 7-time champion, in the 2023-24 Wimbledon finals, becoming the second man in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals. He also became the youngest Olympic men’s finalist since 1904 and earned a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. Alcaraz holds the record for being the youngest ATP 500 champion at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro tournament and the third-youngest ATP Masters 1000 champion at the 2022 Miami tournament.

Alcaraz has an impressive record against players ranked outside the Top 50, with a 21-1 win-loss ratio since March last year. His only loss came against van de Zandschulp, who was ranked No. 74, in the second round of the US Open. In his last hard court ATP Masters 1000 event before turning 22, Alcaraz aims to tie Andy Murray and Andy Roddick for the second-most wins on the surface at this level among players aged 21 and under.

Looking at the historical perspective, Rafael Nadal holds the record for the most hard court ATP Masters 1000 wins before turning 22, with 58 wins and 3 titles. Andy Murray and Andy Roddick share second place with 52 wins and 3 titles, followed closely by Carlos Alcaraz with 51 wins and 3 titles. Novak Djokovic, with 45 wins and 3 titles, is also included in this list. Michael Chang holds the record for the most hard court titles before turning 22 in the series history, with 4 titles.

In summary, David Goffin and Carlos Alcaraz have an even head-to-head record, with one win each. Goffin has achieved significant milestones in his career, including defeating Top-ranked players and reaching high rankings. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has had an impressive rise to become the youngest World No. 1 and has won Grand Slam titles at a young age.
