Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur hits a new career-high after winning the grass-court event in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
Eight days ago, Carlos Alcaraz won his first Roland Garros title, and having already won the US Open in 2022 and Wimbledon in 2023, he became the youngest man ever to win a Grand Slam title on all three surfaces—hard, grass and clay.
And today, the milestones keep coming for the 21-year-old.
This week is Alcaraz’s milestone 100th career week in the Top 5 of the ATP rankings, and they’ve all come consecutively since he first broke into the elite on Monday, July 25th, 2022.
He rose from No. 6 to No. 5 that day after reaching the final of the clay-court event in Hamburg, where he finished runner-up to Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti after a grueling two-hour, 47-minute final.
And the Spaniard hasn’t left the Top 5 since, not even for a single week, including spending 36 career weeks at No. 1.
He’s currently ranked No. 2 behind new world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
