In Paris Masters recently, Carlos Alcaraz has shown impressive performance when winning tickets to the semi -finals. However, at the competition with Holger Rune, the Spaniard was unfortunately involved in Set 2. Finally, he decided to withdraw and missed an appointment with the final ticket.
The injury also made Alcaraz unable to participate in ATP Finals – the year -end tournament for the 8 best male players in the season. This is a pity when he is holding the No. 1 position in the world. Not only that, his position is also at risk of shaking when both Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas have the opportunity to usurp.
However, Alcaraz was now able to rest assured because he officially held the No. 1 ATP when the 2022 season ended. The reason is because this morning, Nadal had to stop in the ATP Finals group stage after 2 consecutive losses. Tsitsipas had also stopped the opportunity after the defeat against Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz's joy is doubled when he has just pocketed another record. Specifically, according to statistics, the Spanish star is the youngest player in the history of holding the number one position at the end of the season, since the ATP rankings were born in 1973. On December 5, Alcaraz will be at the age of 19 1414 days when the 2022 season officially closed.
Before Alcaraz, the player holding the record was Lleyton Hewitt. The former Australian star ended in 2001 with the world's No. 1 at the age of 20, 275 days.
2022 is a brilliant year for Alcaraz. The most important highlight of the 19 -year -old star is the US Open championship. This is also a trophy that helps him conquer the number one position on the ATP rankings.
