'Playing perfectly' - how does Alcaraz rank v men's tennis legends at 22?20bet bonus de boas vindasImage source, BBC SportImage caption, Carlos Alcaraz might only be 22, but he is already producing results that put him alongside some of the biggest stars tennis has ever knownByDaniel AustinBBC Sport senior journalistPublished8 September 2025696 CommentsWhen Carlos Alcaraz won his sixth Grand Slam title on Sunday, he did so by thoroughly outclassing the world's number one player in probably the best performance of his career so far.Defending US Open champion Jannik Sinner - whose record on hard courts over the past two seasons is among the most imperious of any player on any surface in tennis history - was induced into a timid display in which he was overawed by the Spaniard.The quality of Alcaraz's performance in his 6-2 3-6 6-1 6-4 victory led to something of an existential crisis in Sinner, who insisted afterwards that he needs to revamp his game in order to match Alcaraz's level.For his part, Alcaraz believes he is reaching new heights."I played perfectly," he said after lifting the trophy. "This is the best tournament so far that I have ever played. The consistency of my level has been really, really high - it's something I've been working on."The 22-year-old Alcaraz is already talked about among the sport's greatest-ever players. But just how well does he rank against them so far?BBC Sport has examined how he compares against the men's game's legends at the same stage of their careers.Speed and surface mastery put Alcaraz on a pedestal alreadyTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, How does Alcaraz rank against tennis legends at his age?Since Alcaraz joined the ATP Tour as a 16-year-old, he has been lauded for the variety of his play, being able to combine cutting low slices with ferocious forehands and deft drop shots to consistently catch opponents off guard and win points in breathtaking ways.But his ability to stitch together that kind of all-around quality on any surface is what is already setting him apart from anybody else.Alcaraz has now won two Grand Slams on each of the hard, grass, and clay surfaces - only Rafael Nadal (when aged 24), Mats Wilander (aged 24), and Novak Djokovic (aged 34), have ever achieved the same feat in the men's game.The speed at which Alcaraz is racking up the majors is astonishing, too - he has taken only 19 tournaments to win six slams, second only to the record of 18 set by Bjorn Borg in 1978.Only Borg has won six slams at a younger age than Alcaraz, doing so by winning three on clay at Roland Garros and three on grass at Wimbledon.At 22 Nadal also had six (but won the last of those when he was a few months older than Alcaraz), while Pete Sampras was on five, and Wilander four.The likes of eight-time Wimbledon winner Roger Federer (three) and 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic (one) were way behind the pace of Alcaraz at his age.Alcaraz won the first of his Grand Slam titles in New York in 2022 aged 19, and followed it up with his maiden Wimbledon triumph the following year.In the past two seasons he has won two majors per year. If he were to carry on at that trajectory, he would equal Djokovic's tally of 24 in 2034, when he will be 31 and should still have many years of his career ahead of him.The rate at which Alcaraz is winning matches on the biggest stages also makes clear that he already belongs in the most illustrious company.During 2025 he has equalled Nadal's record for most Grand Slams in a calendar year by a player aged 22 or younger, and is second only to Borg for match win percentage at Grand Slams at this age.Serve supremacy takes game to new levelAlcaraz's serve has never been a weakness, but he rendered it one of his most irrepressible weapons in New York by increasing his power to levels he has never before shown.Against Sinner he served a stunning 10 aces, raising his average serve speed from 113mph to 120mph between his opening victory against Reilly Opelka and the final.During the tournament Alcaraz won 84% of his first-serve points and 63% on his second serve - both higher than anybody else in the tournament - and hit the fastest serve of any player during the final, clocking a whopping 134mph.Compared to Roland Garros and Wimbledon earlier this year, when Alcaraz beat and then lost to Sinner in the finals, the difference in serve speed is stark.The set Alcaraz lost in the latest final was the only one he dropped in the entire tournament, and the three breaks of serve he suffered during the fortnight are the second-lowest in Grand Slams since 1991 - Sampras was only broken twice when he won Wimbledon in 1997.And most impressively of all, the measly 10 break points he faced during the fortnight are the lowest of any Grand Slam winner since 1991.How could Alcaraz improve from here?Despite his glowing review of his own performance at Flushing Meadows, Alcaraz still believes he has a way to go before he reaches his pinnacle."At 22 years old, it's difficult to already be at your maximum level," he said after demolishing Sinner. "Little by little I'll keep improving to try and get there."The best Carlos hasn't come out yet."Aside from terrifying the rest of the tour, that statement begs a big question - how exactly can Alcaraz possibly improve from here?It's true that the Spaniard remains prone to occasional bouts of erratic shot-making during high-level matches, sometimes succumbing to 30 minute or so spells in which his touch and depth appear to desert him.Indeed, in the set he lost to Sinner on Sunday, Alcaraz made 11 unforced errors, compared to only two each in the previous and following sets.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Alcaraz's win makes him the new world number one, and he leads his head-to-head record against Jannik Sinner 10-5Cutting those periods out could be a way to maintain his peak ruthlessness and restrict the chance for top-quality opponents to gain a foothold in matches.And if the improvement in the serve is anything to go by, perhaps Alcaraz could even add further development to some of the already immensely impressive skills he possesses.During Sunday's final he hit a couple of groundstrokes that surpassed 100mph, a staggering level of speed to be reaching during rallies against any player, never mind one who hits as hard as Sinner. Striking at that kind of speed on a more regular basis would make him almost impossible to beat.No matter how he develops his game and how many more majors he wins from here, Alcaraz has already demonstrated he is among the very best players the sport has known.Fans around the world can now watch and see whether, by the end of his career, he is lauded as the undisputed greatest ever.Additional data collection and visualisations by Jordan Butler.Related topicsTennisMore on this story'I see you more than my family' - Alcaraz on Sinner rivalryPublished6 days agoComments can not be loadedTo load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browserCommentsJoin the conversationThese comments are now closed.696 commentsShowLatestOldestHighest RatedMost RepliedNComment by noplanb at 16:28 8 Sepnoplanb16:28 8 SepHe is definitely a star of the present, and the sky is the limit.And he is focused and grounded.

Now, they are borderline an afterthought at slams. You can never predict what will happen. Maybe the likes of Shelton, Draper, Fritz find another gear. Maybe a youngster comes out of nowhere.
