Sports writing, Sept 30 (EFE).- For the first time in his career, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, world number one, conquered the Tokyo tournament after defeating American Taylor Fritz 6-4 and 6-4 in one hour and 32 minutes and raising his harvest of successes to twenty-four trophies, eight so far in 2025.

The player from El Palmar (Murcia) has had an impeccable trajectory during this part of the season. The 22-year-old Spaniard managed to increase his number of victories to 67 in 2025 and became the sixth player to win eight trophies in the same season this century. Tokyo joins the US Open and Roland Garros, the Cincinnati, Rome and Monte Carlo Masters 1000s and the Queens and Rotterdam tournaments, a harvest that sums up the most fruitful year for the winner of six Grand Slams.

It was a small revenge for Alcaraz, who joins Tokyo to the US Open and Roland Garros, to the Masters 1000 of Cincinnati, Rome and Monte Carlo and the tournaments of Queens and Rotterdam, a harvest that sums up the most fruitful year of the winner of six Grand Slams. And what’s left for him. With a drop shot, the second in a row in the game, the 22-year-old from Murcia, who has won eighteen consecutive matches in circuit matches, closed the victory. Among so much good time, only one defeat, in the Laver Cup, precisely against Taylor Fritz, ten days ago. It was not on the tour, but it counts for the statistics.

Alcaraz: “It has been my best season so far”

Alcaraz highlighted that he is in a great moment and that he is enjoying what he called his “best season” for now. The Murcian has accumulated 67 matches won and eight titles so far in 2025. “Without a doubt, it has been my best season so far. Eight titles, ten finals. That shows how hard I have worked to be able to live these moments and achieve my goals,” recalled the Murcian. The world number one assumed that the start of the season was not as expected, but that he has been able to turn the situation around. “I didn’t start the year very well, I had emotional difficulties. So I am proud of how I was able to recover from that and of all the people who have helped me get here,” he said about the track.
