Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> enjoyed one of those season-capping, career-defining nights on Thursday at the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>. His win over Lorenzo Musetti<\/a> in Turin secured him ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours for the second time, having also claimed the trophy in 2022.<\/p>\n

The achievement comes at the end of a year in which the Spaniard has been a consistent threat on Tour, claiming a Tour-best eight titles, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index. Consistency has been a focal point of everything he has tried to improve since January.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really are having a magnificent season,\u201d said Alcaraz. \u201cConsistency is something that has always been tough for me, and it\u2019s something I\u2019ve worked on as hard as possible. For example, in previous years, consistency in matches or tournaments has always let me down. We\u2019ve tried to improve, and I think we\u2019ve done it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every tournament I\u2019ve either reached the final, won the title or had a good result. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ll take away from it, that I\u2019ve improved in terms of consistency and, obviously, compared to the start of the year, which wasn\u2019t the best, we managed to turn it around and I\u2019d say that it is, without a doubt, the best season I\u2019ve had so far, and there are still two tournaments to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcaraz\u2019s body language after sealing the victory was that of a man who understood what he had just accomplished, but it also reflected the fact that there is no room for extravagant celebrations at a tournament where the margin for error is so small. In fact, Alcaraz himself explained that he was barely able to enjoy the moment with his team before embarking on his recovery routine.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I was with my team in the locker room, with people who are close to me and were able to come here. But I wasn\u2019t able to celebrate much because I have a semi-final on Saturday,\u201d said Alcaraz, who topped Jimmy Connors<\/a> Group with a perfect 3-0 record. \u201cI tried to do everything in my power to try and recover and to be ready for tomorrow so I can practise well and take to the court on Saturday in the best shape possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The context of the clash with Musetti was also out of the ordinary. The crowd were rapturous in their support of the Italian, as one might expect for a home player, but it is an unusual situation for Alcaraz, who enjoys a certain amount of affection wherever he wields his racquet. However, the Spaniard took it all in his stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, with players like Lorenzo [Musetti] and Jannik [Sinner] playing in Italy, playing this tournament… of course they will get the support, it\u2019s normal,\u201d said Alcaraz. \u201cWe tried to stay focused and not let it affect us and to play good tennis. I think I managed to steer clear of all of that and to play at a good level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"It<\/a><\/p>\n

Alcaraz\u2019s latest scalp means he has reached 70 wins in a calendar year for the first time, a mark that is only within reach of those who are capable of winning even when they are not at their best. It is a trait that defines the greats of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, most of the time, not winning maybe, but competing, which is I think is the important thing in the end,\u201d said the six-time Grand Slam champion. \u201cUltimately, win or lose… there are also a lot of factors, but whether or not I\u2019m feeling good, I know I\u2019ll be able to compete and give myself the chance to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s what we\u2019ve really improved. Obviously, we always try to find solutions in matches, but it is true that most of the time I know they will have to play at a great level, even when I\u2019m not feeling good, if they want to beat me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turin now has its Year-End No. 1, it does not yet have a champion, but Alcaraz is in the semi-finals and in the final stretch of his most mature season to date.<\/p>\n
