Carlos Alcaraz Becomes First Player To Qualify For 2023 ATP Finals

Carlos Alcaraz is the 2023 Wimbledon champion, he's also the World No. 1 player on the ATP Tour, and he's the first player to book a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin.

A couple of weeks ago, Alcaraz confidently said that his goal was to win Wimbledon, and while he did book a spot in the final, very few actually expected him to get the job done, since his opponent was one of the most successful players in the history of the event, Novak Djokovic.

The supremely confident Spaniard admitted after the match that he didn't think he could do it, but he ultimately did. He produced a sensational level to stun seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, winning his second Grand Slam trophy.

The most important thing that Alcaraz achieved by the victory is obviously the Wimbledon trophy. The significance of the victory itself is much more than just winning the trophy.

He talked after the match about how the win proved to him that he could actually take on Djokovic in a best-of-five sets match, something he was unsure of after the Roland Garros disappointment. It also ensured that Alcaraz would remain the World No. 1 player for a few more weeks.

The matchup was essentially a clash for the number one rank. Alcaraz won the match and remained number one for the time being. He also qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin officially after getting to 6,675 points in 2023, following the Wimbledon triumph.

It's been an absolutely dominant year for the Spaniard, who lost only once before a semi-final of an event he played, and that happened in Rome when he was stunned by Fabian Maroszan. He leads the Tour in wins (47) as well as winning percentage (92.2%).

He also leads the Tour with six trophies this year alone (Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Queen's Club, Indian Wells, Madrid, and Wimbledon). The 2023 ATP Finals are held from November 12th to 19th in Turin, Italy.
