Carlos Alcaraz has reached a new milestone in his career, achieving a win rate of 78.1% at ATP Masters 1000 events. With a record of 82 wins and 23 losses, the 22-year-old Spaniard now holds the third-best win percentage since the format was introduced in 1990, surpassing Roger Federer’s 77.9%. Only Novak Djokovic (81.5%) and Rafael Nadal (82%) rank higher.
Consistency across surfaces and seasons
Alcaraz’s rise has been marked by his ability to perform consistently across clay, hard, and grass courts. In 2025 alone, he captured titles in Monte Carlo and Rome, extending his unbeaten streak at Masters events to 15 matches. His adaptability and aggressive baseline play have made him a formidable opponent regardless of surface or opponent.
Rapid ascent among legends
Surpassing Federer in win rate places Alcaraz in elite company. Federer, with 28 Masters titles, held the third spot for years before Alcaraz’s recent surge. Djokovic and Nadal remain ahead, but Alcaraz’s trajectory suggests he could challenge their dominance in the coming seasons. He has already won seven Masters titles, including two this year, and continues to add to his legacy.
Youth and hunger driving success
At just 22, Alcaraz has already achieved more than many players do in a lifetime. His hunger for improvement and fearless approach to high-pressure matches have earned him praise from coaches and peers alike. With his current form and mindset, he is poised to remain a fixture at the top of the sport for years to come.
Looking ahead to Cincinnati and beyond
Alcaraz’s next challenge comes at the Cincinnati Masters, where he has reached the semi-finals. A strong showing could further boost his win rate and bring him closer to the top two. As the season progresses, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if he can continue rewriting records and redefining what’s possible for the next generation of tennis stars.
