At 22 years and nine months, Carlos Alcaraz is a proud owner of 25 ATP titles.
What makes the feat even more remarkable is the number of big trophies on his young tally.

The latest Australian Open triumph was the 15th notable title for the El Palmar native, having collected seven Majors and eight Masters 1000 shields. It's a staggering tally that makes him one of the greatest young champions of the ATP Tour era.
Since 1990, always no one could match that pace. For example, Pete Sampras stopped on 11, and it's still enough to secure the third place on the list. Carlos stands on 15, with a chance to add more before his 23rd birthday.
However, the brilliant youngster will not match his compatriot Rafael Nadal. The Mallorcan stormed over the most notable tennis stage like no one before him at that age, achieving mind-blowing 23 notable titles as the 22-year-old!
Thus, Nadal set a benchmark that should remain untouchable for good. While trailing his compatriot, Alcaraz's trajectory has been nothing short of spectacular. Winning 15 ATP titles is never easy.

However, lifting that many big trophies by 22 is something remarkable. Alongside the number of titles, its even impressive to examine them from the prism od tournaments and surfaces.
Carlos conquered the Australian Open a couple of weeks ago and became the youngest owner of the Career Grand Slam, passing Rafael Nadal's Open era record.
The El Palmar native is the youngest player with seven Major titles. He has also collected eight Masters 1000 crowns, with likely more to come in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome in the upcoming months.
Carlos's success has come through sustained excellence against elite competition at the highest level. The ultimate GOAT chase is ahead of him, but before that, he already owns a trophy cabinet that most great players spend entire careers chasing.
Alcaraz will play four more Masters 1000 events before turning 23, having a chance to further improve his already brilliant tally.
