Carlos Alcaraz is an incredible tennis player, and one who could retire a legend of the sport tomorrow if he wanted to.

Fortunately for us as fans, we are due to get at least another decade of his ethereal brilliance on a tennis court, with pretty much every record in history under threat because of his undeniable talent.

Already, he has become the youngest male year-end world number one in history. Just a few years later, he followed that up by becoming the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam in history.

And whilst this latest achievement is not quite on the same level as the aforementioned two, it still deserves attention, indicating how Carlos Alcaraz’s brilliance and ever-expanding legacy are relentless.  

Carlos Alcaraz’s latest accomplishment matches Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray

The feat in question actually relates to both Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic , who, according to OptaAce, were the last to accomplish it.

This came in 2010, meaning Alcaraz has now matched a 16-year achievement with his latest win at the Paris Masters.

After all, he has become the youngest player to achieve five or more consecutive 40-win seasons at ATP level.

The others were 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Carlos Alcaraz reacts to Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev’s Paris Masters defeats

Speaking after his latest win, just before his match with Matteo Berrettini was sadly cancelled, Alcaraz reacted to the many big-name casualties the Paris Masters has had already.

After all, alongside in-form stars like Daniil Medvedev and Alex de Minaur, the exits of Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev truly stunned supporters.

Asked about their losses, the Spaniard admitted he endeavoured to ignore what goes on around him, despite his love for tennis drawing him to watch their matches and how it shapes the draw.

Alcaraz instead argued: “Of course, I like to look at the draw. I love watching the matches; the Masters 1000s in a week, we could watch great matches in the first round. So every round is really difficult; it could be the final of a 500 or even the final of a 1000, so you have to be ready, and you have to be really focused on every round.

Where does Carlos Alcaraz's forehand rank among the greatest of all time? 🎾

“It’s been a really difficult day for the top guys, but you know I just try not to think about it, and I try to step out there playing my best, try to play my best and enjoy.”

Alcaraz won the Vienna Open just last month, and is now seemingly on track to follow that up with his first-ever Paris Masters trophy should his current form continue.
