Carlos Alcaraz joins elite group featuring only the Big Four and Jannik Sinner after 2025 Season

Carlos Alcaraz joins an elite group reserved for tennis legends

Alcaraz’s latest achievement only adds to that impression, confirming his place alongside names like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Jannik Sinner.

All former world number ones and multiple Grand Slam winners, these players are widely considered among the greatest to ever play the game.

And now Alcaraz joins them once again, becoming the newest player to win over 70 matches in a season while losing fewer than 10.

While he’s currently at the bottom of that list, considering how much of his career still lies ahead, it’s intriguing to think about how far up this list—and others—he could eventually climb.

Carlos Alcaraz keeps adding to his growing list of records

While this particular achievement isn’t a record on its own, seeing his name listed alongside those players is still notable.

Even so, he’s already built a strong resume, especially when it comes to records set at a young age.

He made history by becoming the youngest man – and first male teenager in the Open Era – to reach world number one after winning the US Open in 2022. He then finished the year at number one, again setting a new mark for the youngest player to do so.

By 2024, Alcaraz had also become the youngest player to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces, following his victory at Roland Garros that year.

And that’s far from the only early milestone he’s reached. Looking ahead to Melbourne, where he has said winning the Australian Open is now his top priority, there’s another potential record within reach.

If Alcaraz manages to lift the trophy in January, he’ll become the youngest player ever to complete a career Grand Slam. It would be yet another historic moment in what is already an extraordinary rise.
