Carlos Alcaraz: form, schedule and what to watch next

Carlos Alcaraz burst onto the big stage as a teenager and quickly became one of the most exciting players in tennis. He won the 2022 US Open and reached world No. 1 soon after, combining explosive power with quick courtcraft. If you follow men’s tennis, Alcaraz matches are the ones most likely to deliver wild rallies and high drama.

Form & recent results

Want to know how he’s playing right now? Look at three things: match wins, serve numbers, and movement. Alcaraz wins when his first serve percentage holds up and he’s able to take the ball early. Watch for shorter rallies turning into aggressive finishing shots — that’s his go-to. We cover tournament results and turning points in our match reports, and we spot trends like how he handles pressure in fifth sets or tiebreaks.

For context from the tour: younger stars such as Ben Shelton are also making waves — see our recent piece "Ben Shelton’s Stunning Masters 1000 Win Sets Up High-Stakes US Open Run" for how the next generation is shaping Grand Slam races. Those matchups matter because they tell you whether Alcaraz is adapting to fresh challengers or reasserting dominance.

Curious about his team? Juan Carlos Ferrero has been an important voice in his development — expect tactical adjustments from the box, especially in longer matches.

We flag injury updates and how they affect tournament entries.
