Four records Carlos Alcaraz can break at US Open 2025

The Spaniard is a five-time Grand Slam winner, including a 2022 US Open triumph.

World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz has enjoyed a stellar 2025 season, showcasing his versatility and dominance across all surfaces.

Beginning the year with an ATP 500 title in Rotterdam, the Spaniard added three Masters 1000 crowns in Monte-Carlo, Rome, and Cincinnati, alongside a dramatic Roland Garros defense—the longest match in the tournament’s history.

Despite falling short at Wimbledon, Alcaraz remains a major contender in New York, where victory would mark his seventh title of the year and cement his standing among the sport’s elite.

The World No. 2 faces a challenging road to a potential US Open crown, beginning with a tricky first-round matchup against towering server Reilly Opelka. Should he navigate that, his projected path includes a high-stakes fourth-round clash with former champion Daniil Medvedev and a quarter-final showdown with in-form American Ben Shelton.

If he continues to advance, a blockbuster semi-final against Novak Djokovic or Taylor Fritz looms, setting the stage for another potential final duel with Jannik Sinner.

Records Carlos Alcaraz can break-

Youngest man to win six Grand Slam titles

The youngest player to win six men’s singles Grand Slam titles is Bjorn Borg at 22 years, 1 month, and 3 days of age. The Swede never faced an issue transitioning from clay to grass during the tour, completing three Channel Slams (the most by any player in history).

With two Grand Slam titles at both Wimbledon and the French Open each under his belt, in addition to the US Open 2022 triumph, the Spaniard, currently aged 22 years, 4 months, 2 days, is on his way to becoming the second youngest 6-time Grand Slam men’s singles champion, surpassing Rafael Nadal.

Second youngest man to complete the Cincinnati Masters-US Open double in the same year

In 2003, Andy Roddick completed the incredible trio of triumphing at the Canadian Open, Cincinnati Open, and US Open, establishing himself as a legend of the North American swing. He beat Max Mirnyi in the Cincinnati semifinals and edged Mardy Fish 4-6, 7-6(3), 7-6(4) in a gritty final.

The American then carried his form to the US Open, saving a match point against David Nalbandian in the semifinals before overpowering Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-3 to win his first and only Grand Slam.

Alcaraz claimed his first Cincinnati trophy in 2025, outlasting Rublev and Zverev, before meeting an unwell Sinner in the title clash, who withdrew midway through the ball, down 0-5 in the opening set. The Spaniard can become the youngest ATP player to complete this double, going past Sinner.

New ATP World No. 1

Carlos Alcaraz can reclaim the World No. 1 ranking at the US Open 2025 only by winning the title and hoping Jannik Sinner exits before the semifinals, as the Italian’s deep run would keep the gap insurmountable. A first-to-quarterfinal-round exit for Sinner would open the door for Alcaraz to surge past him with 11,540 points.

The Spaniard last held the ATP No. 1 ranking in September 2023, before Sinner began his dominant streak. However, Alcaraz ended Sinner’s title defense in Cincinnati, which diminished the 24-year-old’s lead at the top, and his stunning 60+ consecutive weeks reign as the top-ranked player could be halted by the Spaniard at the upcoming mega event.

Youngest man to win Roland Garros and the US Open in the same year

Carlos Alcaraz has the chance to become the youngest man to win Roland Garros and the US Open in the same year if he triumphs at Flushing Meadows in 2025.

At 22, he would surpass Rafael Nadal, who achieved this feat at 24 in 2010, highlighting Alcaraz’s meteoric rise and generational talent.

Earlier in Paris, Alcaraz produced a superb performance to save championship points against Sinner to help him come from two sets down and retain his title in a match that lasted more than five hours.
