Carlos Alcaraz has officially joined an exclusive group of players who have ended a season with more than 12,000 ranking points since the creation of the ATP Tour in 1990. This milestone places him alongside Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray, the only other players to have reached such heights.
The legends who set the standard
Novak Djokovic achieved the feat multiple times, finishing above 12,000 points in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. Roger Federer managed it across four consecutive seasons from 2004 to 2007, while Rafael Nadal reached the mark in 2010 and 2013. Andy Murray joined the list in 2016, capping off his rise to world number one.
Alcaraz’s breakthrough season
In 2025, Alcaraz became the fifth player to cross the 12,000-point threshold, underlining his dominance throughout the year. His consistency across Grand Slams, Masters 1000 events, and other tournaments has propelled him into the same statistical category as the sport’s greatest champions.
The significance of the milestone
Ending a season with over 12,000 points reflects not only consistent victories but also success at the highest levels of competition. For Alcaraz, it marks his arrival among the legends of the game and highlights his potential to shape the future of tennis in the years ahead.
Alcaraz’s inclusion in this elite group confirms his place in tennis history, standing shoulder to shoulder with Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, and Murray as one of the few to achieve such dominance in a single season.
