The Murcian, who this Monday will be number 6 in the world, consolidates himself as the most fit tennis player on the circuit after sweeping Alexander Zverev in the final in Madrid
The Carlos Alcaraz dynasty has already taken off. This Sunday’s victory against Zverev in Madrid confirms him as the fittest tennis player of the year, but he is one more in an impeccable season, which promises more conquests in the coming months. The Murcian has won four titles in the seven tournaments he has played this year, two ATP 500 and two Masters 1000. No one has won as many trophies as him this year.
He is also the player with the most wins in 2022: 28 wins and only 3 losses. On clay, where he has won three tournaments, the record is even better: 16-1, if the Davis Cup match with Spain is included. The only slip, in Monte Carlo against Korda, but it has remained an anecdote because since then Alcaraz has won ten consecutive victories.
All the data reaffirms the Murcian as the most regular tennis player of the year. He is second in the ‘race’, that is, the statistic that collects the points earned since January. He is only surpassed by Rafa Nadal, by 70 units, thanks to the 2,000 that he won with the Australian Open. Since then, the dominance of Ferrero’s pupil has allowed him to climb to sixth position in the ATP ranking, which will be released this Monday. He closed 2021 as 32nd and his goal was to finish 2022 in the top 15.
The fact is that Alcaraz’s talent has been unquestionable for a long time, but the display of experience scares him. The great weakness of the latest tennis promises was that they faltered at crucial moments. The Murcian, on the other hand, does not tremble. In the finals he only knows how to win: six out of six, if you add the ‘Next Gen ATP Finals’. He hasn’t even dropped a set in those deciders. A shredder.
