Carlos Alcaraz has become the 13th tennis player in history to reach 60 weeks as number 1 in the ATP ranking. He immediately becomes the pursuer of Jannik Sinner, who is twelfth on the list, with 66 weeks. It is also worth noting that the player from Murcia has reached this milestone at a younger age than all the members of the Big 3 (22 years and 9 months), becoming the second youngest of all time to achieve this, only surpassed by Lleyton Hewitt, at 21 years and 10 months. Roger Federer achieved it at 23 years and 7 months, Rafael Nadal at 24 years and 3 months, and Novak Djokovic at 25 years and 6 months.
