Carlos Alcaraz's budding tennis career
Carlos Alcaraz has been a scintillating talent ever since he was in the junior circuit. He made his professional debut in 2020 at the Rio Open as a 16-year-old. His ruthless dominance has even prompted a Nadal comparison by many tennis personalities.
At the age of 17, the Spaniard qualified for the main draw of the Australian Open 2020 - making him the youngest player in the draw. In 2021, he became the youngest player to win a match at the Mutua Madrid Open, breaking the 17-year record of his idol, Rafael Nadal. His performance in that season was still growing as he did not reach the final stages of any Master's events. But his efforts on the hard court helped him reach the quarterfinal of the US Open and launched him to rank 32 by the end of the year.
After defeating Tsitsipas at the US Open 2021, he became the youngest player to defeat a top-3 player at the Grand Slam since computerized rankings were first introduced in 1973.
His career so far has made tennis fans confident about the game's future. 2022 has been his best season so far. He started the season off with an early exit in the Australian Open. However, mere months later, he managed to win two ATP 1000 tournaments, the Indian Wells Masters and the Madrid Open.
Continuing the dominant display, Alcaraz won the US Open in September and received a heartwarming message from his idol. This win secured him a spot in the ATP Finals. However, he was unable to play due to an injury. His efforts led him to rank 1, and he finished the year at the top of the ATP rankings.
His 2023 season started with inconsistencies as he was absent from the Australian Open due to a hamstring injury. He defended his Indian Wells title and even managed the 100th win of his career. In the clay-court season, he won the Barcelona Open for a second time and went on to lay claim to the Madrid Open as well.
For the first time, in 2024, Carlos Alcaraz will play in the Laver Cup. Further, in the 2024 Australian Open, after winning in the fourth round against Miomir Kecmanovic, Carlitos reached the quarter-finals of every Grand Slam. Unfortunately, in Melbourne, he lost the last few matches to Alexander Zverev.
Alcaraz's all-major title wins and records
With an intense playing style, the young Spaniard has managed to win many titles and even set a few records. His qualification in the 2020 Australian Open led to him becoming the youngest player to participate in the tournament. His win at the Mutua Madrid Open in 2020 made him the youngest player to win a match at the tournament.
When he defeated the World No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of the US Open 2021, Alcaraz became the youngest player to advance to the fourth round of the Grand Slam event since 1989.
Along with all the titles and records, Alcaraz has also won awards as a sports personality. He won the ATP Newcomer of the Year award in 2020. Then, in 2022, he claimed the ATP Player of the Year and the ATP Most Improved Player. His most recent achievement was the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year.
Alcaraz's girlfriend
