Carlos Alcaraz has now been at the top of the ATP ranking for 51 weeks, but what is most decisive is that he has managed to finish two years at the top of the rankings. This is a privilege that only ten other players have had before him. The player from Murcia has matched Edberg, Hewitt, and Borg, with 2 seasons concluded in that privileged position, still with a long way to go if he wants to challenge Novak Djokovic's record of 8.
