Alcaraz after his world No. 1 trophy: "It means a lot to me"

Carlos Alcaraz received the prestigious year-end world No. 1 trophy right in the middle of the ATP Finals, a moment where the Spaniard delivered a beautiful statement.

It was 2:00 PM, on the center court of the Inalpi Arena in Turin, when the Spanish prodigy received the year-end world No. 1 trophy, a symbol that only the greatest have held in their hands.

Indeed, thanks to his three wins in the Jimmy Connors group against Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, and Lorenzo Musetti, the native of El Palmar achieved the first goal he had set for himself: to finish 2025 at the top of the ATP rankings.

"It is a great pleasure for me to be world No. 1 again, it is something I have worked very hard for with my team. It's a journey you don't make alone, but one you share with the entire staff, family, and the people close to you who support you through the good and the bad times.

I am proud to have a team like mine. I am truly happy to have the chance to share these moments with each member of my clan. It is a great achievement and it means a lot to me. I want to continue because I will never be able to thank people enough for the support I receive everywhere I go.

We travel from early January to late November: we visit new places, countries, and destinations, but the people are always the same. I feel love everywhere I go. In some tournaments and matches, it would have been impossible to win without their support. I am grateful for the love and energy they are able to give me. This trophy is for them too."
