Coming to tennis, Alcaraz was last seen competing in Rio. During that week, he displayed some of the best tennis so far in his career. He beat some top players in the game such as Fognini, Berrettini, and Schwartzman in the final. 

So far, both his titles, the one in Rio and the one in Umag last season were won on the clay. It is evident that the 19 year old prefers to compete on that surface. However, he has been a strong contender on the other surfaces too.

He registered one of the biggest upsets last season when he managed to knock out Stefanos Tsitsipas at the US Open. It is always a treat to watch him compete passionately and strongly on the Tour. It is an encouraging sign to see him beat the top players at such a young age.

He surely is one the watch out for. We wish him the very best for the upcoming tournaments. Since we are in the early days of the season, it will be interesting to see how he goes about things this year, especially during the clay-court events.
