Carlos Alcaraz will be the new top-10 of the ATP world ranking on the list April 25, after the dispute Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Conde de Godó Trophy.
In 2005, also 18 years old, although a month younger, Rafa Nadal made his ‘top ten’ debut after winning the first of his current twelve titles at his club. He won in 2021, but he was unable to defend it in the current edition due to stress crack in the rib.
Murcian’s classification for Godó’s semifinals after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas and the defeat of cameron norrie against Alex de Minaur he has already placed the Spaniard in the top-10.
He was confident he could snatch the tenth spot from British Norrie. I’ll take the ninth from Felix Auger-Aliassime if he beat Alex de Minaur this Saturday and get into the final on Sunday, against Pablo Carreño or Diego Schwartzman.
