Likewise, he equaled Andrei Medvedev with 12 finals and was 2 behind Andre Agassi in the classification where the undisputed leader was Borg.

Also, Alcaraz, with his win in Barcelona equaled another record and set another record. On the one hand, he reached Rafa Nadal in his presence in the ATP 500 finals before he turned 20; on the other hand, he played in Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona and Hamburg in 2022, defeating the Balearic Islands before that age in the ATP 500 final on dirt; and in 2023 Rio and Barcelona with three controversial titles on the same ground Roland Garrosbiggest challenge of this episode of the season For the player from El Palmar.

Among the active players, Alcaraz is the second player to reach the finals the most without reaching 20. Rafa Nadal will reach 18, while Murcian will stay at 12 with 9 wins. Behind them are Novak Djokovic and Norwegian Holge Rune, both with a 7.

Alcaraz is among them Players with the most wins in matches in the ATP round before the age of 20. With 113, he’s a long way from Borg’s 280 or Becker’s 189, but he hasn’t been able to compete for almost a year due to the pandemic, delaying his jump from Challenger tournaments to his advantage.

All these data confirm that it is a great fact that the youngest player in history has reached number 1 in the world. His 19-year-old maturity is unsuitable, and after twenty weeks of being placed at the top of the standings, the Masters in Rome could come back to him in the 1,000.

Avoid Tsitsipas and Medveded until Madrid Masters final

HE Madrid Masters 1,000 It has already started with the celebration of the matches of the previous stage. The premiere of Carlos Alcaraz, who was exempted in the first round, is not scheduled until next Saturday or Sunday. His opponent in that second-round match will come out of the duel Finn will play. Emil Ruusuvuori (41 in the world) and French Ugo Humbert (77).

Moreover, Djokovic will not be in the squad Madrid Masters 1,000 due to injury, just like Rafa Nadal, so he won’t be able to defend the 360 ​​points he earned a year ago when he lost in the semi-finals to Alcaraz, who had previously beaten Nadal in an epic quarterfinal match. For all these reasons, if Alcaraz holds the crown in Madrid, the only tournament in this category played in Spain, they will be left with 6,770 points and only five behind Djokovic, who will play with 6,775 in two weeks. .

therefore, in Rome, the last Masters on clay 1,000 Roland Garros before Carlos Alcaraz 1 and reach the Paris event by leading the ATP rankings. Murcian did not participate in Foro Italico last year because he decided to rest due to exhaustion after doubles in Barcelona and Madrid.
