Player at a glance

How they play

Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest ATP world No. 1 after winning the 2022 US Open. An attacking all-court player, he creates both pace and variation within a point instead of relying on power alone.

He takes control quickly from the baseline, then mixes in drop shots and net play when the opponent retreats. His first move when turning defense into attack is especially revealing.

What to watch

If you are new to this player

  • Watch how he sets his feet and creates space from the ball before hitting hard.
  • When he has pushed an opponent behind the baseline, notice whether he repeats the same pace or changes the pattern with a short ball.

For a closer look

  • After he changes return position, track which space he opens with the first two shots.
  • On defensive forehands, watch how he maintains racquet-head speed to turn a neutral ball into an attacking one.

Worth knowing

  • Alcaraz has worked with Babolat since age 10 and became world No. 1 at 19 on September 12, 2022.
  • Even Babolat’s own records name RPM Blast in 2023 and RPM Team in its 2024 Roland-Garros article, showing why equipment claims need dates.
