Carlos Alcaraz secured his place in the ATP Finals knockout stages by defeating Lorenzo Musetti in Turin.
The Spaniard is yet to lose at the tournament and has now beaten Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, and Musetti.
Alcaraz ousted Jannik Sinner as world number one with his latest win and he will play either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Alexander Zverev in the semi-final.
The Spaniard’s latest achievement has seen him pick up two honours that only the very best have managed to do in tennis.
Carlos Alcaraz becomes youngest player to join elite ATP club
Alcaraz’s year-end world number one placing has seen him become the tenth man to achieve the feat and win six Grand Slams.
The Spaniard has joined a list with Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
The star has not only joined the legends with the achievement, but he’s also become the youngest player to achieve the feat.
Alcaraz has won six Grand Slams throughout his career and achieved the year-end world number one spot on two occasions.
The Spaniard can still achieve a career-first at the ATP Finals as well.
He is yet to win the year-end tournament in his two previous appearances, with his best performance coming with his semi-final appearance in 2022.
Carlos Alcaraz hits another career high at the ATP Finals
Alcaraz’s victory against Musetti was his 70th win in 2025, which is already the best the Spaniard has ever managed.
The 22-year-old has become the youngest player to reach 70 wins since Djokovic achieved the feat in 2009, per OptaAce.
Alcaraz has become just the third player to reach 70 wins in the last 10 years, with Andy Murray achieving the feat in 2016 and Jannik Sinner doing the same in 2025.
If Alcaraz wins the ATP Finals for the very first time in his career, he will end on a remarkable 72 victories this season.
