Carlos Alcaraz is a 21-year-old player hailing from Spain, currently ranked as World No. 3 and having reached a career-high ranking of No. 1. Having had an impressive record in 2025 with a win-loss record of 12-2 and winning the Rotterdam title, he has demonstrated his rising talent. Alcaraz achieved a historic feat by becoming the youngest and first teenage World No. 1 in PIF ATP Rankings history. At the age of 19, he rose from No. 32 to No. 1 in September 2022, spending a total of 36 weeks as the top-ranked player. He secured his first Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open, defeating Ruud and becoming the youngest men’s champion at the event since Sampras in 1990 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at the 2005 Roland Garros.
Alcaraz’s success continued as he won the 2024 Roland Garros, becoming the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces. He defeated Sinner in the semi-finals and Zverev in the final, showcasing his ability to conquer five-set matches. He defeated the 7-time champion Djokovic in the Wimbledon finals of 2023-24 and became the second man in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals. Additionally, Alcaraz earned a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, where he became the youngest Olympic men’s finalist since 1904. He has also achieved victories as the youngest ATP 500 champion at the 2022 Rio de Janeiro and the third-youngest ATP Masters 1000 champion at the 2022 Miami tournament.
Notably, Alcaraz is currently on a 13-match winning streak at the event and aims to become the first player born in 1991 or later to win the same ATP Tour event for three consecutive years. Since September, he has accumulated an 18-1 record against players ranked outside the Top 25. His only loss during this period was against No. 33 Machac at the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai in October.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that three players have achieved three-peats at ATP Masters 1000 events since 1990. These players are Andre Agassi at the Miami tournament (2001-2003), Roger Federer at Indian Wells (2004-2006), and Rafael Nadal at Monte-Carlo (2005-2012, 2016-2018) and Rome (2005-2007). Novak Djokovic has accomplished this feat at the Paris tournament (2013-2015), Indian Wells (2014-2016), and Miami (2014-2016).
