Alcaraz Nadal ATP ranking

The young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz Garfia won the Barcelona Open 2022 title and went on to become the 9th ranked player. Alcaraz defeated the fellow Spanish player Pablo Carreño Busta at the ATP 500 tournament to enter the Top- 10 of the world tennis rankings.

Incidentally, Carlos achieved this brilliant feat on the same date as his idol Rafael Nadal. Seventeen years ago, that is in 2005, Nadal reached this milestone on 25th April. Mirroring his role-model and fellow Spanish champion, Carlos Alcaraz attained the World No.9 label on the same date this year after his final win at the Barcelona Open. 

A number of players who are currently playing have entered the Top-10 ranking in different stages of their career. Although Rafael Nadal and Alcaraz are the only active players present in the first 10 players of the list, other players such as Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev, Jannik Sinner etc. have reached the Top-10 at a later age of their career.

Here is the list of Youngest ATP Top-10 ranked players
