50 wins against the Top 10: Only Connors and Becker have done better than Alcaraz since 1973
Carlos Alcaraz struck again with his victory against Fritz (6-7, 7-5, 6-3) in his second round-robin match at the ATP Finals in Turin.
By securing his 50th win against an ATP top 10 player, the Spaniard joins a very exclusive circle composed of legends such as Jimmy Connors and Boris Becker.
Indeed, the Spanish prodigy needed only 73 matches to reach the symbolic milestone of 50 wins against the top 10. To put this feat into perspective, only these two giants of the game, Jimmy Connors (69) and Boris Becker (71), have done better in the modern era (since 1973). Furthermore, Nadal is the only member of the Big 3 to be part of this select circle (73 as well).
An impressive statistic for the 22-year-old player, which speaks volumes about his precocity and consistency.
Finally, competing in Turin, Alcaraz is one win away from securing the year-end world number one ranking. While he has never won the prestigious "Tournament of Champions," the native of El Palmar will be keen to end that drought.
