Carlos Alcaraz Garfia has just reached his career-high in the so-called live rankings after demolishing Adrian Mannarino with a straight scoreline (6-4 6-0). Carlito will now have the huge opportunity of facing his childhood idol Rafael Nadal in the second round.
After reaching the second round at the Madrid Open, Carlos went up 8 places in the live rankings to be the new world number 112, which is also his career-high.
Obviously, Alcaraz Garcia is widely expected to lose against the King of Clay. If for whatever reason, Carlito will get to the third round, he will be ranked number 108 on Monday.
Just to mention, if ever Alcaraz Garcia wins the Madrid Open, he will break in the top 40 (around the 36 place). However, that is quite unlikely. His next step is just to enjoy and take advantage of his impending match against Rafael Nadal.
