Resilience meets range

At just 22, Carlos Alcaraz has already established himself as the man to beat.

- 

His 2025 season has underscored a maturity beyond his years, capped by dramatic victories at Roland-Garros, where he saved three championship points in the longest French Open final in history, and at the US Open, where he lifted his fifth Grand Slam® trophy.

That triumph marked another milestone in a year when he has won titles on every surface, affirming not only his adaptability but also his hunger for the sport's biggest stages.

Alcaraz’s ability to seize the moment has been likened to Federer in his prime, though his physicality and resourcefulness carry echoes of Nadal.

What is undeniable is his knack for producing brilliance under pressure.

He has already secured the winning points for Team Europe in last year's Laver Cup and returns to the 2025 edition with that confidence behind him. In San Francisco this September, his role will again be pivotal.

He says: “The Laver Cup is unique because you play tennis as a team. In the Davis Cup, you are part of a team from the same country, whereas the Laver Cup is more international.
