Carlos Alcaraz has already achieved legend status in tennis at the age of 22, having claimed six Grand Slam titles, as many as Boris Becker and Stefan Edberg.
The Spaniard has enjoyed another successful year on the ATP Tour so far, reclaiming his spot as world number one and recording his best Grand Slam season to date.
Alcaraz’s US Open triumph marked his second major crown of 2025, following his incredible comeback victory against Jannik Sinner in the French Open final.
As time goes on, the young star will only get better, and with the avoidance of long-term injuries, he is on track to match the Grand Slam tallies of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Two-time major finalist says Carlos Alcaraz ‘is truly a gift’
Alcaraz has continued to impress everyone this year, including former world number two, Alex Corretja, who said in an interview with Bolavip: “It’s a blessing to have a player like Carlos Alcaraz. He is truly a gift to the sport. It is nearly a miracle, to be honest.
“We have had so many great players in the past, but after Rafael Nadal, our legend of the sport, all of a sudden we have Carlos who is comparable.”
“He is winning Grand Slams, he is the world No. 1. It is something very unexpected and very fortunate for us to have him.”“It is good for our sport and our country.
“I think we really need to appreciate it, because what he is doing is very, very difficult and he is only 22 years old and has already won six Grand Slams.”
“He will win many more Grand Slams in the future. Everybody loves him because he is so natural. He is so humble and simple, and he says whatever he feels. He is very straightforward and acts very well. He is very unique.”
Carlos Alcaraz’s seven titles during the 2025 ATP season
Alcaraz’s 2025 season has been his most successful campaign to date, with seven tour-level titles to his name since January.
He clinched his first of the year in Rotterdam, before going on to win two clay-court ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in Monte-Carlo and Rome.
After concluding the clay-swing with a Roland Garros title, Alcaraz won his fourth grass-court trophy at Queen’s, three weeks prior to his third consecutive appearance in the Wimbledon final.
The world number one made up for his poor 2024 North American hard-court swing this year, winning both the Cincinnati Open and the US Open.
