Carlos Alcaraz continues to take the tennis world by storm after clinching his 200th ATP Tour win at the China Open.

Alcaraz beat Tallon Griekspoor for his 200th win, with the Spaniard overcoming the Dutchman with ease in Beijing.

He emerged victorious 6-1, 6-2 in the second round encounter, where the four-time Grand Slam champion remarkably won 100% of first-serve points.

It took Alcaraz just 57 minutes to clinch the victory and set up a China Open quarter-final meeting with Karen Khachanov.

Alcaraz loves the China Open fans, and he will be hoping they can help guide him to more silverware this season.

Carlos Alcaraz reacts after his 200th ATP Tour win

He can, however, already celebrate his stunning achievement of 200 wins, with Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime the only other players born in the 2000s to achieve the feat.

The Spaniard has shared his delight on social media, with Alcaraz sharing his achievement and simply writing the word: “Vamooooosssss.”

Carlos Alcaraz behind only John McEnroe in fastest ATP Tour wins list

Aged just 21, Alcaraz has already achieved so much in tennis, with the Spaniard boasting four Grand Slam titles.

Moreover, he is behind only John McEnroe in the number of games taken to reach 200 wins, with the American having required 245, seven fewer than Alcaraz.

But he won’t want to slow down anytime soon, with the youngster undoubtedly eyeing pole position in the ATP Finals race.

Alcaraz, who lost at the semi-final stage of the 2023 China Open, is currently behind world number one Sinner in the rankings.

The Italian will be very hard to topple, with Sinner also eyeing success in Beijing, having also reached the quarter-finals.
