Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz enters 2025 ranked No. 3 in the ATP standings with 7,160 points and a season mark of 44 wins against 10 losses, a 82 percent winning rate. The Spanish right-hander plays with a two-handed backhand that anchors his athletic baseline game, letting him transition from defense to attack in a single stride. What makes Alcaraz effective is his ability to turn neutral rallies into winning ones through sudden changes of pace, sharp angles off both wings, and a heavy forehand that he loads early in the court.

At 23, Alcaraz already owns 21 career titles, backed by an aggressive court positioning that thrives on most surfaces. He never concedes depth, using his first strike to pull opponents wide, then finishing with his movement up the line. His El Palmar upbringing shows in a gritty, tenacious baseline style that wears rivals down over three hours, while still delivering winners when opportunities arise. That blend of power, feel, and relentless energy keeps him inside the top three.
