Carlos Alcaraz gets to 100. The Spanish tennis player certified his pass to the round of 16 of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 after defeating Tallon Griekspoor, 7-6 and 6-4 and reached a round number of victories with only 19 years.
In addition, Carlos Alcaraz has managed to surpass other tennis legends such as Rafa Nadal or Andre Agassi and has managed to be the second tennis player who had reached number 1, to reach 100 victories. The Murcian has won 100 games and lost 32. Only John McEnroe reached that magic figure with fewer games played (131).
Carlos Alcaraz has taken just over 3 years -1,120 days- to add 100 victories on the ATP circuit. The first was against Albert Ramos at the 2020 Rio Open, on February 17, just before the pandemic.
These 100 victories have allowed him to win seven ATP titles, among which stands out that US Open achieved last year. In addition, he has won two Masters 1000, the one in Miami and Madrid, and the 500 tournaments in Rio de Janeiro and Barcelona conquered last year, in addition to the 250 in Umag 2021 and in Buenos Aires conquered a few weeks ago.
The tennis player from El Palmar will face Jack Draper in the next round, who defeated his compatriot Andy Murray (7-6 and 6-2). The Briton has already faced Alcaraz once and the duel fell on the Spaniard’s side in the Basel tournament last year.
