The 2022 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season officially began on 17 January 2022, with the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne.
During this season, Alcaraz:
Alcaraz received direct entry into the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time. He reached the third round, where he was defeated in a fifth set tiebreak by Matteo Berrettini. This remains the only five-set loss of his career. [2]
Alcaraz secured the first second title of his career at the Rio Open. He avenged his Australian Open defeat to Berrettini en route, before defeating Diego Schwartzman in the final. He became the youngest winner of an ATP 500 event since the category was created in 2009. [3]
After helping to secure Spain's Davis Cup qualification, Alcaraz arrived in North America to play Indian Wells for the second time in his career. He reached the semi-finals without dropping a set, where he lost in his second meeting with his idol and compatriot Rafael Nadal. [4] Alcaraz proceeded to the Miami Open, where he was seeded fourteenth. In the fourth round he defeated World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, followed by defending champion Hubert Hurkacz in the semifinals. Alcaraz then defeated Casper Ruud in the final to win his first Masters 1000 title. Alcaraz was the first Spaniard to win the title. At 18 years and 333 days old, he also became the youngest men's singles titlist in Miami Open history, and the youngest Masters 1000 champion since Rafael Nadal at the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters. [5]
Alcaraz began his clay season with a disappointing second round loss at the Monte-Carlo Masters to Sebastian Korda. He bounced back at the Barcelona Open, where he defeated compatriot Pablo Carreño Busta to win his fourth career title. By winning his quarterfinal match in Barcelona against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alcaraz broke into the top ten of the world rankings for the first time, on 25 April. Alcaraz then entered the Madrid Open as seventh seed. He received a bye into the second round, where he defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili, followed by Cameron Norrie in the third round on the day of his nineteenth birthday. In the quarterfinals, Alcaraz defeated five-time Madrid champion and World No. 4 Rafael Nadal for the first time in three sets. This was Alcaraz and Nadal's third and final tour-level meeting. In the semifinals, Alcaraz faced World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in their first tour level meeting. After three hours and thirty-six minutes, Alcaraz stunned the tennis world by prevailing in a tight third set tiebreak (6-7(5-7), 7-5, 7-6(7-5)). This match was later named the ATP Match of the Year. [6] Alcaraz became the first and only man to defeat Nadal and Djokovic in back-to-back matches on a clay court. [7] In the final, he defeated defending champion and World No. 3 Alexander Zverev in an hour and four minutes. [8]
Alcaraz reached the quarterfinals at Roland-Garros, equalling his best result at a major tournament at that date, where he lost decisively to Zverev in four sets. [9]
Alcaraz did not play a warm-up tournament before Wimbledon, where he was competing for the second time in his career. He reached the fourth round, where he lost in four sets to World No. 13 and future rival Jannik Sinner. [10]
Alcaraz returned to clay courts after Wimbledon. He reached the finals of the Hamburg Open, where he suffered his first defeat in a tour-level final to Lorenzo Musetti. [11] He then returned to the Croatia Open as the defending champion, where he suffered a consecutive defeat in a final, this time to Jannik Sinner. [12]
Playing the Canadian Open for the first time in his career, Alcaraz received a bye into the second round, where he lost in an upset to Tommy Paul. [13] He reached the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open, where he lost to Cameron Norrie. [14] Alcaraz then entered the US Open for the second time in his career. Prior to the tournament, Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas were all in contention to take over the World No. 1 singles ranking. Alcaraz made it through the first three rounds without dropping a set. In the fourth round, he defeated former champion Marin Čilić in five sets. In the quarterfinals, Alcaraz saved a match point in the fourth set before recovering to win in five sets against Jannik Sinner. The match lasted five hours and fifteen minutes, and recorded the latest finish in the history of the tournament at 2:50AM. [15] Alcaraz then played a third consecutive five-setter in the semifinals to defeat Frances Tiafoe. [16] In the final, Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud in four sets to claim his first major title, and to become the youngest ATP World No.1 in the history of the rankings. [17] He also became the youngest men's major champion since Nadal at the 2005 French Open, the youngest US Open champion since Pete Sampras in 1990, and the first man born in the 2000s to win a major singles title. At 23 hours and 39 minutes of play duration across his seven matches, Alcaraz spent the longest time on court in major history (a record later broken by Medvedev at the 2024 Australian Open). [18]
Alcaraz then entered the Astana Open, where he lost in the first round to lucky loser David Goffin. [19] In Basel, he reached the semifinals, where he lost to eventual champion Félix Auger-Aliassime. [20] At the Paris Masters, he retired in the quarterfinals down a set against eventual champion Holger Rune due to an internal tear in his left abdominal wall. [21] Due to this injury, Alcaraz also withdrew from his first chance at playing the ATP Finals, bringing his season to a close. [22]
