Alcaraz extends his undefeated streak in the early rounds of Grand Slam tournaments
Carlos Alcaraz has lost thirteen times in his first match of a tournament since turning professional… but never in a Grand Slam. That's the greatness of the young player from Murcia, who almost always finds his best version on the biggest stages of the circuit. After his victory a few hours ago against Reilly Opelka at the US Open 2025, Alcaraz's record in first rounds of tournaments of this caliber rises to 19-0, a number that only two men in the Open Era were able to achieve at the start: Bjorn Borg and Rafa Nadal. The statistic is terrifying, it commands much respect to sit at the same table with these two legends, but it is the reality that the young player from Murcia faces day by day. An otherworldly player with otherworldly numbers.
