“I remember the first time when I was playing, when I was small in Murcia, I didn't imagine at that moment that I was going to be able to reach this level, to be here right now, champion of the Mutua Madrid Open,” Alcaraz said.

The 19-year-old defeated World No. 4 Rafael Nadal, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and World No. 3 Zverev to become the youngest player in the history of the ATP Tour (since 1990) to oust three of the top five players in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings at the same event. Earlier in the year, the Spaniard reached 50 wins in his 70th tour-level match. The next-youngest player who earned three such victories was 20-year-old Novak Djokovic in 2007 at Montreal, where he upset World No. 3 Andy Roddick, World No. 2 Nadal and World No. 1 Roger Federer to claim the title.
