Carlos Alcaraz showed up Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal<\/a> and Novak Djokovic by outdoing them all with his second year-end No. 1 ranking before his 23rd birthday.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard secured his place ahead of Jannik Sinner after defeating Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-1 to book his spot in the semi-final of the ATP Finals after three straight wins.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the victory, he said: \u201cThe match was really important for me, playing for year-end No 1. It means the world to me, to be honest. The year-end No 1 is always a goal. At the beginning of the year, I saw the No 1 really, really far away [with] Jannik winning almost every tournament he plays.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut from the middle of the season \u2019til now, I gave myself the goal for the No 1 because I thought it was there. I had the chance to play great tennis in a lot of tournaments in a row to put myself in with a chance to be close to Jannik for the No 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen in the last three, four tournaments of the year, [I was] fighting toe to toe with Jannik for this spot and then finally I got it. For me, it means everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy at the beginning with the nerves. I tried to handle that pressure the best I could, so I am just really happy with the level I played and to be able to end the year as the No 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tournament is really important for me. I am excited about qualifying for the semi-finals and hopefully getting to the final. We will see \u2013 part of the job is done, but I\u2019m excited to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz showed up Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic by outdoing them all with his second…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[30245,870,811,6766,99527,6768,101,118,12700,872,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-262875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-atp-finals","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-novak-djokovic-wife","tag-roger-federer","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-section","tag-tennis-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
