Following his withdrawal from the Italian Open due to an ankle injury,[47] Alcaraz made his seeded debut at the French Open as No. 6.

The match set the record as the latest finish (at 2:50AM EST) and second longest match (5 hours and 15 minutes) in US Open history.[62][63] He defeated Frances Tiafoe in the semifinals for his third consecutive five-set match victory.[64] He defeated 5th seed Casper Ruud in the final, where both players were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking, to win the title. Alcaraz became the youngest No. 1 in the history of the ATP Rankings at the age of 19 years, 4 months and 6 days, breaking Lleyton Hewitt’s record.[5] He also became the first teenager in the Open Era to top the men’s rankings and the youngest men’s US Open champion since Pete Sampras in 1990.[65]

Alcaraz at the 2023 French Open

On 7 January, Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from the Australian Open due to a hamstring injury he suffered in his right leg while training.[70] Following the tournament, he lost the world No. 1 ranking to the champion Novak Djokovic.[71] He held the ranking for a total of 20 weeks.

In his first tournament back for the 2023 season at the Golden Swing in South America, Alcaraz won his seventh title at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, defeating second seed Cameron Norrie. He became the first teenager to win the event.[72] Defending his title at the Rio Open, he reached back to back finals, and his tenth overall as a teenager tied with Jimmy ConnorsMichael Chang and Lleyton Hewitt.[73][better source needed] Alcaraz defeated Chilean qualifier Nicolás Jarry to reach the final, where he played against Cameron Norrie again, but lost in three sets.[74] Alcaraz was additionally scheduled to play in Acapulco in the month of February, but withdrew prior to the tournament after suffering another hamstring injury.[75]

At the Indian Wells Masters he recorded his 100th career win, defeating 31st seed Tallon Griekspoor to reach the fourth round, making him the second fastest player to reach this milestone after John McEnroe and faster than the Big 3.[76][77] He reached the semifinals after the retirement of Jack Draper, and after defeating eighth seed Félix Auger-Aliassime.[78][79] In an anticipated match, Alcaraz defeated eleventh seed Jannik Sinner in straight sets to reach the final.[80][81] He won his eighth career title and third Masters 1000 title over fifth seed Daniil Medvedev, breaking his 19-match winning streak and becoming the first player to win the tournament without dropping a set since Roger Federer in 2017.

Alcaraz was scheduled to play at the Monte-Carlo Masters the following week but withdrew due to post-traumatic arthritis in his left hand. He began the European clay court swing at the Barcelona Open, where he was the defending champion. He defeated Nuno Borges, countrymen Roberto Bautista Agut and Alejandro Davidovich FokinaDan Evans in the semifinals, and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final to successfully defend his title without dropping a set. It also marked his third title of the season. He won his tenth career title at the Madrid Open, defeating lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff in the final and successfully defending his title. Alcaraz became the sixth-youngest player to reach 10 tour-level titles in the Open Era.[85]

In 2023 Carlos Alcaraz won his first Wimbledon title.

At the next clay court tournament, the Rome Masters, Alcaraz earned the opportunity to clinch the world No. 1 ranking just by playing his second round match. Following his victory, he regained the top ranking from Novak Djokovic. However, he was upset in the next round by the world No. 135 Fabian Marozsan in straight sets.[86] At the 2023 French Open, Alcaraz advanced to the semifinals, but was defeated by Novak Djokovic in four sets after suffering cramps at the onset of the third set. Djokovic regained the No. 1 ranking from Alcaraz, after he ultimately went on to win the tournament.[87]

At the Queen’s Club Championships, he recorded his first career title on grass, beating Australian Alex de Minaur in two sets in the final. The tournament win in London also returned him to the world No. 1 in rankings.[88] At the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, as the top seed, he reached the final following wins over Jeremy ChardyAlexandre MullerNicolas JarryMatteo BerrettiniHolger Rune, and Daniil Medvedev. Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in five sets in the final, ending Djokovic’s 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon and securing the No. 1 ranking. With this win, Alcaraz became the second player, after Andy Murray, to defeat Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.[89] Additionally, Alcaraz became the first non-“Big 4” player to win Wimbledon since Lleyton Hewitt’s victory in 2002.[90]

Endorsements

Alcaraz is sponsored by Nike for clothing and shoes, and by Babolat for racquets, using the Babolat Pure Aero 98 racquet.[91][92] In January 2022, he became a brand ambassador for Rolex.[93][94] He is also a brand ambassador for dermocosmetics company Isdin, Spanish food company ElPozo, and German automobile manufacturer BMW under their BMW Spain division.[95][96][97] In January 2023, he became ambassador for the American clothing brand Calvin Klein especially for their 1996 underwear campaign.[98] In June 2023, Alcaraz became a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton.[99]

Playing style

Alcaraz is an all-courtall-round tennis player, but primarily employs an aggressive baseline style of play, with an emphasis on a high winner count from his forehand, typically his most reliable and potent shot. He can either hit his forehand flat and fast for winners from every court position, or add a great amount of topspin and margin over the net. He also possesses a well-rounded and more flat and lower net-clearance backhand groundstroke that he is able to redirect down the line for clean winners. His greatly disguised drop shot is key to his game, as he often combines the heaviness of his groundstrokes that pushes his opponents back into the court into a defensive position, with a drop shot that is often too well-placed and disguised to deal with. He has an impressive net-game with great drop volleys and drive volleys, and frequently serves-and-volleys on crucial points.[100]

His first serve is consistent and can go as fast as 140 mph, but is more commonly around 115 to 125 mph and hit with average placement. This has led to some criticism[by whom?] of his serving. However, he has an excellent and reliable second serve to which he can add topspin, in order to get a high bounce off the court and either push back or get a weak return from closer-returning opponents. This serve typically reaches 150 to 170 km/h (93 to 106 mph).[101]

Alcaraz has earned acclaim for his athletic and physical traits. In particular, his direct sprints, counterattacking abilities, and an extremely high peak footspeed have garnered him comparisons to a young Rafael Nadal. He has been compared to Novak Djokovic for his assured lateral movement and court-coverage aided by physical splits and sliding through the court on defense, particularly on his backhand side where he is often able to neutralize his opponent’s groundstroke aggression or drop shot attempts.[citation needed]
