Alcaraz confirmed as Year End World No.1, youngest ever after Nadal eliminated

Carlos Alcaraz will finish the year as the number one ranked player in the world as Nadal's elimination from the ATP finals ensures it.

Carlos Alcaraz wasn't able to take part in the ATP Finals due to an injury but the Spaniard will still finish the year as the best player in the world. There were some small chances for Nadal and Tsitsipas to overtake him but ultimately both of them failed in that regard.

It's an amazing achievement for the Spaniard as he became the youngest player to ever become year-end No. 1 beating out Lleyton Hewitt for that honour. He also ensured his stay at the top until at least the end of the Australian which should take his weeks spent as number one to 21 passing the likes of Wilander and Becker.
