Carlos Alcaraz has been shining since the start of the 2022 tennis season. The newly turned 19-year-old from Spain has just won his fourth ATP title of the year beating No. 3 player Alexander Zverev at the final of the Mutua Madrid Open 2022.<\/p>\n
Zverev was not the only top seed that got beaten by him. Alcaraz hammered several quality players this season including two of the Big Three players. The No. 9 ATP rank outlasted his idol, Rafael Nadal, in the quarterfinals before he beat World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in their first meet to become the only player to beat both of them back to back on clay at a young age. The player defeated three top-ranked players back to back to clinch the trophy in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Zverev had some motivational words for the emerging star of Spain. The German professional said, \u201cRight now, you are the best player in the world,\u201d reported\u00a0Tennis TV\u00a0<\/em>in a post-match interview. He further said to Alcaraz that Spaniard has the capabilities to win many Grand Slams and at the tournament many more times.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz has so far won Rio Open, Miami Open, Barcelona Open and now a trophy at Madrid Open. He also reached the semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters before losing to 21-times Grand Slam champion Nadal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spanish professional beat Zverev from Germany to win his fourth ATP title of the year at Madrid Open. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":169,"featured_media":38136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1466,2668,3296,3297,203,336],"class_list":["post-17391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis","tag-alexander-zverev","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-madrid-open","tag-mutua-madrid-open-2022","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-rafael-nadal"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
