Carlos Alcaraz has already collected impressive numbers if you consider that he is only 22 years old and is certainly destined to make tennis history, although he will have to be careful to preserve his body by avoiding injuries and he will have to continue to work on his game to counter both Jannik Sinner and the young talents ready to emerge.
The current world No.1 began his 43rd week at the top of the ATP rankings last Monday, overtaking Guga Kuerten in the all-time rankings and his next goal is to catch up with American legend Jim Courier, as well as having already won six Grand Slam titles and eight Masters 1000 titles (including three this season).
The star from Murcia also won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics last year and several insiders are convinced that he can really aspire to break the records of the Big 3. Sinner is the only player able to beat him in the most prestigious tournaments on the calendar, highlighting how the 24-year-old Italian is still 5-10 behind in the h2h record against the Spanish ace. In addition, Carlitos has finally acquired that consistency during the season that he had often lacked in the past and it was precisely that extraordinary consistency that allowed him to return to world number 1 after the US Open.

The six-time Grand Slam champion will play the Paris Masters 1000 next week, before focusing his attention on the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin and the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna.
During a recent event, WTA legend Serena Williams confessed that she was impressed by Carlos' rise: Alcaraz is doing incredible things. Im a huge fan of Alcaraz. I always cheer him on. At this point, anything is possible.
She also added: Carlos is very young, he has great rivals, but of course its possible. Records are there to be broken.
The Spanish player has never hidden that he wants to become one of the best ever.
