Carlos Alcaraz continues to collect historic milestone at a staggering pace, writing history books at 22. The Spaniard stands on five notable titles in 2025 after the US Open, adding two Majors and three Masters 1000 shields to his impressive CV.
At 22 years and four months, Carlos became the second-youngest player to achieve five notable ATP titles in a season since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990. Who stands above him?
His idol and compatriot Rafael Nadal, who achieved two seasons with five big crowns at 19 and repeated that three years later. Jannik Sinner stands behind the two Spaniards following a brilliant run last season when he was 23.

Alcaraz is enjoying his career-best season, regaining the ATP throne after two years and looking good to secure his second year-end no. 1 honor. The young gun has shown consistency and brilliance at every surface since April.
He has reached eight straight ATP finals since Monte Carlo, lifting six titles, including five big ones! Thus, the El Palmar native stands on 14 big trophies at such a young age, which is a recipe for greatness.
Carlos entered April with one ATP title. He improved his tally in Monte Carlo, celebrating in the Principality for the first time. A month later, he repeated that at Foro Italico, besting Jannik Sinner in the final and lifting his second big title of the year.
The young gun did not have to wait for too long to conquer another! Alcaraz faced Sinner in the Roland Garros title clash and prevailed in one of the best Major finals ever!

Carlos denied three match points in a 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 classic, defending the title and writing history books. The Spaniard faced his greatest rival in another notable final at Wimbledon.
This time, Jannik had the upper had and prevented Carlos' three-peat. The 22-year-old bounced back and worked hard ahead of Cincinnati. He met Sinner in another title match and lifted a trophy when his rival retired in the opening set.
The Spaniard gathered a boost ahead of the US Open and presented his A-game at Flushing Meadows. Alcaraz dropped one set in seven matches and outplayed his rivals on serve and return to add the sixth Major title to his collection.
It was Carlos' fifth notable title within five months, proving his ability to peak on the biggest stages and stand as the leader of his generation. Standing alongside Nadal on such an exclusive list underlines how quickly the El Palmar native is writing his own chapter in tennis history.
