Carlos Alcaraz collects records, and with a new one, conquered at the Queen’s Club, in London, he even surpassed all three of the Big Three, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. The data, underlines on social media, shows how impressive this boy is on the ATP Tour.
Carlos Alcaraz won at the age of 20 and one month a tournament on at least any available surface, be it clay, hard or grass. Super numbers, when you think about the Big Three: Roger Federer, the most continuous one of the Big Three at the beginning of his career, won a tournament on all surfaces at 21 years and ten months, while Rafael Nadal at 22 years.
However, Novak Djokovic is far away, having won at least one tournament on all surfaces even at the age of 24 and two months. Clearly different numbers compared to the Spanish one, who is making a new history in this sport and who really seems to be the heir to the Big Three.
Alcaraz has won the most tournaments on clay, seven, although, at the moment, he has won the biggest tournament of his career on hard courts, at the US Open.
Alcaraz at the Queen’s
Alcaraz had arrived at Queen’s almost as (incredible but true!) an outsider.
He had repeatedly reiterated that he didn’t feel favored to win, but instead the Spaniard amazed everyone with the quality shown even on grass-court. And now, at this point in his career, it is nothing new. With the victory in London, the Murcian native broke yet another series of records and returned to number one in the world.
Exceptional numbers and thanks to the victory on the Queen’s Club grass-courts, which arrived without particular difficulties, with Alcaraz he is back number one in the world. A particular success because it will allow Carlitos to start as the number one seed at Wimbledon, a Slam that will be played in a few days on the lawns of London.
An important result: Carlos overtakes Novak Djokovic again after the Roland Garros and their battle is enlivening this 2023 and not a little. By now the Spaniard seems to be Novak’s first rival even on grass, a surface where, compared to last year, he has grown a lot.
