Carlos Alcaraz won his maiden title in Umag on Sunday and Rafael Nadal congratulated him.
Fondly dubbed as the mini Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz is quickly establishing himself as one of the best young talents on the tour. The Spaniard possesses a very strong clay game at the age of 18 which bodes well for his future. His career while not as impressive early as that of Nadal mimics it to a degree.
After his title win, Nadal who played Alcaraz in Rome this year shared a story on his Instagram account where he wrote:
“Congratulations Carlos! The first title is always remembered in a special way. Onwards!”
The title allowed Alcaraz to jump to number 55 in the ranking which is also something he has in common with Nadal. At age 18 Nadal was ranked 49th in the world.

AceOfBase10-11-2024 - Zheng v Gauff the best final we could get. Both were and remain in top form the last few weeks. Queenwen even the whole year almost. If she finds her aces she's a contender. If not, Gauff's gonna take it.MrAndreeva08-11-2024

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
