Different 18yr old Spaniard April 25th, 2005 – Rafael Nadal breaks into the Top 10 after winning in Barcelona and April 25th, 2022- Carlos Alcaraz breaks into the Top 10 after Barcelona”.

Tiafoe shared the stats on his Instagram story and made his admiration for the young Spaniard clear. He stated, “He’s the one”. Carlos’s role model is Rafael Nadal.
