Yearly summary

[edit]

Early hard court season

[edit]

Alcaraz began his 2024 campaign at the Australian Open, where he recorded a straight-set victory against Frenchman Richard Gasquet[6] before defeating Italian Lorenzo Sonego in four sets in the first and second round, respectively.[7] His third round opponent, Chinese wild card Shang Juncheng, retired at the start of the third set therefore making it Alcaraz's most successful run at the Australian Open.[8] He cruised into the quarterfinals after beating Miomir Kecmanović in straight sets.[9] When he won his fourth-round match at the age of 20 years, 8 months and 15 days, Alcaraz became the fourth-youngest man in Open era history to reach all four major quarterfinals.[10] He lost in the quarterfinals to the sixth seeded, Alexander Zverev.[11]

Argentina and Brazil events

[edit]

In February, Alcaraz entered the 2024 Argentina Open as the defending champion and won his first two matches in straight sets[12] before losing to Chilean Nicolás Jarry in straight sets in the semifinals.[13] Alcaraz retired from the Rio Open the following week after two games due to a right ankle injury. He twisted his ankle in the first game after only two points.[14] He later announced a lateral sprain of his right ankle but said he'd miss just "a few days" and planned to play at Las Vegas and Indian Wells.[15]

Sunshine Masters tournaments

[edit]

As defending champion at Indian Wells, Alcaraz came back into form, defeating Matteo Arnaldi, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Fábián Marozsán, and Alexander Zverev to reach the semifinals, having only dropped one set in his opening match against Arnaldi.[16] He next faced Jannik Sinner for an eighth career meeting,[17] leveling the rivalry 4–4 by defeating him and therefore ending his 19 match win streak.[18] Alcaraz successfully defended his title by defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final, earning him his first title since Wimbledon 2023.[19] At the Miami Open, Alcaraz defeated Roberto Carballés Baena, Gaël Monfils, and Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets. He lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals, ending his hopes of achieving the Sunshine Double.[20]

Clay season

[edit]

Alcaraz withdrew from both the Monte-Carlo Masters and the Barcelona Open due to an injury to the pronator teres of his right arm.[21][22] He returned to the court as the two-time defending champion in Madrid, defeating Alexander Shevchenko, Thiago Seyboth Wild, and Jan-Lennard Struff, before losing to Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals.[23] He subsequently withdrew from the Italian Open due to continued discomfort in his forearm.[24] He returned to play at the French Open with a compression sleeve on his right arm.[25] He defeated J. J. Wolf, Jesper de Jong, Sebastian Korda, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the semifinals. He then defeated second seed Jannik Sinner and fourth seed Alexander Zverev, both in five sets, to claim the title.[26] This was Alcaraz's first title at Roland-Garros and his third major title overall. He became the first man in Open Era history to win his first three major titles on three different surfaces, as well as the youngest man to win major titles on all three surfaces.[27][28]

Grass season

[edit]

Alcaraz began his grass court season at the Queen's Club Championships, where he was the defending champion. He defeated Francisco Cerúndolo in the first round, but was upset in straight sets by Jack Draper in the second.[29] He entered Wimbledon also as the defending champion. After defeating Mark Lajal and Aleksander Vukic in straight sets, he was taken to five sets by Frances Tiafoe in the third round. He defeated Ugo Humbert, Tommy Paul, and Daniil Medvedev, all in four sets, to reach his second consecutive Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz won the first two sets of the final 6-2, 6-2, before losing three match points in the third set and recovering to win it in a tiebreak.[30] This was Alcaraz's second title at Wimbledon and his fourth major title overall.[31] With this title, Alcaraz tied Mats Wilander and Björn Borg's record for the most men's singles major titles won by age 21.[32] He also improved his grass court win percentage to the current best in the Open Era, at 89%.[33]

Olympic Games

[edit]

Alcaraz returned to the Roland-Garros stadium eight weeks after his French Open victory to participate for Spain in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. He entered the men's doubles competition in a heavily-publicised partnership with Rafael Nadal.[34] Alcaraz and Nadal defeated the Argentinians Máximo González and Andrés Molteni, and the Dutchmen Tallon Griekspoor and Wesley Koolhof, in the first and second rounds.[35] They lost to the eventual silver-medallists, Americans Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram, in the quarterfinals.[36] This marked Nadal's last match on Court Philippe-Chatrier. In the men's singles competition, Alcaraz defeated Hady Habib, Griekspoor, Roman Safiullin, Paul and Auger-Aliassime to reach the final without dropping a set.[37] He entered the final as favorite against Novak Djokovic but lost to him in straight sets, securing a silver medal for Spain.[38][39]

North American hard court swing

[edit]

Alcaraz withdrew from the Canadian Open to allow himself time to recover from the Olympics.[40] He received a bye through to the second round of the Cincinnati Open, where he was upset by Gaël Monfils in three sets.[41] This match marked the first time Alcaraz ever smashed a racket on court, which generated significant media controversy and drove Alcaraz to make a public apology.[42] Alcaraz then entered the US Open, where he was bidding to become the third man in the Open Era to win the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open in the same year.[43] Alcaraz defeated qualifier Li Tu in the first round. He was then defeated in straight sets by 74th-ranked Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round, in what Andy Roddick described as "one of the craziest losses I've seen".[44][45] This was Alcaraz's earliest loss in a major since Wimbledon 2021 when he was 18 years old.[46] In his media conference following the match, Alcaraz said, "I'm not doing well mentally, I'm not strong. I don't know how to control myself when faced with problems and I don't know how to handle it. I have to see exactly what happened, or what's going on with me."[47]

Team competitions

[edit]

Alcaraz joined the Spanish team as his country's top-ranked player for the group stage of the Davis Cup Finals, where Spain were drawn against the Netherlands.[48] Alcaraz played two singles matches. He recorded a win against Tomáš Macháč after Macháč's retirement in the third set, and defeated Ugo Humbert in straight sets. Alcaraz also formed a successful doubles partnership with Marcel Granollers to defeat Jakub Menšik and Adam Pavlásek.[49] Alcaraz then made his debut for Team Europe at the 2024 Laver Cup.[50] On Day One, he played doubles with Alexander Zverev, losing to Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton of Team World. On Day Two, Alcaraz recorded a singles victory against Shelton. On Day Three, Alcaraz played doubles with Casper Ruud, winning against Shelton and Frances Tiafoe. He then played the final singles match of the tournament against Fritz, which he won in straight sets, thus securing the Laver Cup for Team Europe.[51] Alcaraz won a combined eight points across this edition of the Laver Cup, the most won by any player in any single year of the tournament's history.[52]

Asian hard court swing

[edit]

Alcaraz returned to individual competition at the China Open in Beijing. He defeated Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Tallon Griekspoor, Karen Khachanov, and Daniil Medvedev without dropping a set.[53] With his victory against Griekspoor, Alcaraz recorded his 200th career victory, becoming the second-fastest man in Open Era history to achieve this milestone relative to total number of matches played.[54] In the final, Alcaraz defeated defending champion Jannik Sinner in three sets. Alcaraz won seven consecutive points in a third-set tiebreak to clinch the title. At three hours and twenty-one minutes, this became the longest match in the history of the tournament.[55] It was Alcaraz's third encounter with Sinner in 2024, and his third victory, snapping Sinner's 15-match win streak.[56] With this win, Alcaraz reclaimed the world No. 2 ranking from Alexander Zverev.[57] Alcaraz then entered the Shanghai Open, where he defeated Shang Juncheng, Wu Yibing, and Gaël Monfils in straight sets. He lost to 33rd-ranked Tomáš Macháč in straight sets in the quarterfinals, ending his own 12-match win streak.[58]
