The 19-year-old Alcaraz is the second-fastest man to reach 100 ATP wins after John McEnroe. “I’m really proud of myself to have my 100th win on the tour, in like 132 matches. I saw I was the second player in history with less matches to be able to get to 100 wins. I’m really proud of myself about that,” Carlos said. Photo credit: Rob Stone/@robstonetennis
