Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkaɾlos alkaˈɾaθ ˈɣaɾfja];[4] born 5 May 2003) is a Spanish professional tennis player. He has been ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), including as the year-end No. 1 in 2022. Alcaraz has won 17 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including four major titles and five Masters 1000 titles.

A teen phenom, Alcaraz began his professional career in 2018 at age 15. He broke into the top 100 in rankings in May 2021, and ended that year in the top 35 after reaching the US Open quarterfinals. In March 2022, he won his first Masters 1000 title at the Miami Open at the age of 18, followed by his second at the Madrid Open. Alcaraz won his first major title at the 2022 US Open, becoming the youngest man and the first male teenager in the Open Era to top the singles rankings, at 19 years, 4 months, and 6 days old.[5][6][7] Finishing the year as the youngest year-end No. 1 in ATP ranking history, he was named the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year for his performance in the season.

In 2023, Alcaraz claimed his second major title at Wimbledon, defeating four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in an epic final. In 2024, he won his third and fourth major titles at the French Open and Wimbledon, followed by an Olympic silver medal at the Paris Olympics. He is the current world No. 3 player in men's singles.
