The 19-year-old Spaniard is forging ahead: he is already 6 Atp and, unlike those in front of him, he has fewer points to defend and is constantly growing. That’s why seeing him # 1 at the end of the year isn’t impossible
Part of the climb is finished, now we need to reach the summit. The hardest thing. Carlos Alcaraz beating in the quarter-finals of Madrid Rafa Nadal, the legend with whom he grew up and has always had to confront (and in the future this is unlikely to change), has completed the first part of his amazing ascent. Not only for the symbolicity of the success against the Majorcan master, but also because Carlos woke up from number 6 in the world, at the age of 19. Then, in order not to miss anything, he also granted an encore against Nole Djokovic: a point-to-point fight, won after 3 hours and 38 minutes of the match, to reach the final.
