To accomplish what Alcaraz has done in such a short period is an incredible feat. When we compare his records to those of the “Big Three,” it becomes even more remarkable.
Known for his grass court skills, Roger Federer took four years and 32 tournaments to win his first title on grass court. It took five years and 38 tournaments for Rafael Nadal, the undisputed king of clay, to lift his first title on grass. The current world No. 2 Novak Djokovic, just shy of No. 1 by a few points, struggled for six years and played 48 matches before claiming his first title on grass. Carlos Alcaraz did the same thing in just two years and 11 tournaments setting a record unlike the greats.
This exceptional achievement highlights Alcaraz’s incredible talent and unwavering focus. At 20, he has already proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the tennis world.

Alcaraz’s latest win came at The Queen’s Club in London, where he defeated Alex de Minaur in the final of the Cinch Championships. The road to the finals was not an easy one for Alcaraz, who had to battle formidable opponents in tough competition. In the first round, he showed his resilience by coming back from a set down to defeat Arthur Rinderknech in a three-set thriller. Alcaraz then proved his absolute dominance with straight wins over Jiri Lehecka, Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Korda, earning him a well-deserved spot in the final.
In a display of sheer skill and composure, Alcaraz claimed victory over de Minaur with a straight-set win, prevailing 6-4, 6-4. Breaking his opponent’s serve once in each set, Alcaraz proved why he is a force to be reckoned with on any surface. This victory marked his first grass-court singles title.
