Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz won his second ATP Masters 1000 title at the Madrid Open after defeating defending champion Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-1 in front of his home crowd on Sunday.
According to Reuters, Alcaraz looked dangerous throughout his run at the claycourt tournament, where he stunned 21-times major winner Rafa Nadal and world number one Novak Djokovic before cruising past world number three Zverev in the title clash.
The 19-year-old is the youngest player since start of the ATP Tour in 1990 to defeat three top-five players at the same event.
“It feels great to be able to beat these players. To beat two of the best players in history and then Zverev, the world number three. He is a great player,” Alcaraz, who did not face a break point against the German, told Reuters.
“I would say this is the best week of my life. I am 19 years old, which I think is the key to be able to play long and tough matches in a row. I am feeling great physically.”
