The wonder boy continues to expand his collection of titles and, above all, keeps climbing the ranks in the historical classifications. With his recent conquest in Tokyo, Carlos Alcaraz today has reached 10 ATP 500 titles, a figure that allows him to break the tie he had with Andy Murray and place himself alone in fourth position in this ranking.

The ATP 500 category was born in 2009 and since then some of the best players in history have accumulated a spectacular collection of trophies in these tournaments. The record is held by Roger Federer, with 16 titles, followed by Rafa Nadal, with 15, and Novak Djokovic, with 14... which could be 15 in a few hours. Alcaraz, already with 10, now appears as the next name on a list where his presence is particularly striking due to his age.

A record that he is starting to look closely at

Alcaraz is still far from Federer’s record, but the distance stops seeming so large when it is taken into account that the Murcian is only 23 years old. There are six titles separating him from the Swiss record, while Nadal is five away and Djokovic is four away. Additionally, this data gains even more value when remembering that the three players who precede him have had extraordinarily long careers and have played hundreds of matches in this type of tournament. Alcaraz, on the other hand, is still in a relatively early phase of his professional career.

His growth rate suggests that this ranking could become one of the great historical records of his career. He has already surpassed Andy Murray and now has three true tennis legends ahead of him. The ultimate goal is clear: to someday become the player with the most ATP 500 titles in history; for that, he will need to win seven more to surpass Federer’s 16. A figure that today is still far away, but considering the speed with which Alcaraz is building his resume, it begins to appear on the horizon.
