Stats: Where does Alcaraz rank compared to the Big 3 at the same age?
At just 21 years old, Alcaraz is pushing the limits of age. With 4 Grand Slam titles and 6 Masters 1000 victories, the native of El Palmar is already among the greatest players to have competed on the tour. But how does he compare to the Big Three?
The X account *Jeu, Set et Maths* revealed a statistical comparison between the young Spaniard and the three legends.
At the same age, Alcaraz is well ahead of the others in terms of Grand Slam titles (4) and highest ranking (world No. 1), but trails Nadal in Masters 1000 wins (6 vs. 11) and total titles (18 vs. 26).
The Mallorcan also leads him in career win percentage (79.9% vs. 79.3%) and wins against top 10 opponents (39 vs. 37).
Thus, the two Spaniards dominate most of the statistics in this age bracket, while the Swiss and the Serbe boosted their numbers a bit later.
