Who is Carlos Alcaraz Garfia?

Carlos Alcaraz Garfia, born on May 5, 2003, in El Palmar, Spain, is a Spanish tennis prodigy who has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis. As of June 2025, he holds the world No. 2 ranking and has amassed an impressive 20 ATP (Association of Tennis Profesionals) singles titles, including five Grand Slam championships and seven Masters 1000 titles .

Alcaraz's meteoric rise continued with his first Grand Slam victory at the 2022 US Open, making him the youngest man in the Open Era to top the ATP rankings at 19 years and 4 months. In 1924, Alcaraz achieved a historic feat by winning both the French Open and Wimbledon titles, becoming the youngest player to win Grand Slams on all three surfaces—clay, grass, and hard.

The year 2025 has been particularly remarkable for Alcaraz. He began by clinching his sixth Masters 1000 title at the Monte-Carlo Masters, defeating Lorenzo Musetti in the final. In May, he added the Italian Open to his accolades, overcoming Jannik Sinner in straight sets. Alcaraz's most significant achievement came at the 2025 French Open, where he staged a remarkable comeback to win his fifth Grand Slam title. After trailing two sets to love, he saved three championship points and secured victory in a historic five-set final against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, marking the longest French Open final in history at 5 hours and 29 minutes.
