Yearly summary

Australian Open

Alcaraz received direct entry into the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time. This was the first major he entered as a seed, ranked world No. 31. He reached the third round, where he was defeated in a fifth set tiebreak by Matteo Berrettini.

Rio Open

Alcaraz secured the first second title of his career at the Rio Open, seeded seventh. He avenged his Australian Open defeat to Berrettini en route, before defeating Diego Schwartzman in the final. He became the youngest winner of an ATP 500 event since the category was created in 2009.[2]

Sunshine Double tournaments

After helping to secure Spain's Davis Cup qualification, Alcaraz arrived in North America to play Indian Wells for the second time in his career. He reached his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal, where he defeated defending champion Cameron Norrie. He advanced to his first Masters 1000 semifinal without dropping a set, where he lost in his second meeting with his compatriot Rafael Nadal.[3]

Alcaraz proceeded to the Miami Open, where he was seeded fourteenth. In the fourth round he defeated world No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, followed by defending champion Hubert Hurkacz in the semifinals. Alcaraz then defeated Casper Ruud in the final to win his first Masters 1000 title. He was the first Spaniard to win the title. At 18 years and 333 days old, he also became the youngest men's singles titlist in Miami Open history, and the youngest Masters 1000 champion since Rafael Nadal at the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters.[4]

Clay season

Alcaraz began his clay season with a disappointing second round loss at the Monte-Carlo Masters to Sebastian Korda. He bounced back at the Barcelona Open, where he defeated compatriot Pablo Carreño Busta to win his fourth career title. By winning his quarterfinal match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alcaraz broke into the top ten of the world rankings for the first time, on 25 April.[5] He became the 20th teenager to break into the top 10 overall since rankings were established in 1973, and the youngest since Rafael Nadal on 25 April 2005, exactly 17 years earlier.[6][7]

Alcaraz then entered the Madrid Open as seventh seed. A day after his 19th birthday, he defeated 5-time Madrid champion, world No. 4 and third seed Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals.[8] This was Alcaraz's first victory against Nadal, and their final tour-level meeting. The following day, Alcaraz faced world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in their first tour level meeting. After three hours and thirty-six minutes, Alcaraz stunned the tennis world by prevailing in a tight third set tiebreak (6-7(5-7), 7-5, 7-6(7-5)). This match was later named the ATP Match of the Year.[9] Alcaraz became the youngest player to win a match against a world No. 1 since 2004, and the only player ever to defeat Nadal and Djokovic back-to-back on clay.[10] In the final, Alcaraz dismantled defending champion and world No. 3 Alexander Zverev in an hour and four minutes, thereby defeating the tournament's top three seeds in three consecutive matches.[11] He became the youngest champion in the tournament's history.[12] Alcaraz then climbed to a career-high of world No. 6 in the rankings on 9 May 2022.[13]

Following his withdrawal from the Italian Open due to an ankle injury,[14] Alcaraz made his seeded debut at the French Open as world No. 6. Having won two of the tour's biggest titles on clay coming into the Slam, he was widely projected to be one of the favorites for the title.[15] He defeated Juan Ignacio Londero in straight sets before saving a match point in a second round five-setter against Albert Ramos Viñolas.[16][17] He defeated Sebastian Korda and Karen Khachanov in straight sets. He then lost decisively to Zverev in the second major quarterfinal of his career.[18][19][20]

Grass season

Alcaraz did not play a warm-up tournament before Wimbledon, where he was competing for the second time in his career. He beat Jan-Lennard Struff in a close five setter before defeating Tallon Griekspoor and Oscar Otte in straight sets to reach the fourth round for the first time at this major. He lost there in four sets to world No. 13 and future rival Jannik Sinner.[21]

Late clay season

Alcaraz returned to clay courts after Wimbledon. He reached the finals of the Hamburg Open, where he suffered his first defeat in a tour-level final to Lorenzo Musetti.[22] Following this tournament, on 25 July 2022, Alcaraz reached a new career high of world No. 5. He became the youngest male player to enter the top 5 since Nadal in 2005.[23] He then returned to the Croatia Open as the defending champion, where he suffered a consecutive defeat in a final, this time to Jannik Sinner.[24] This resulted in another jump in the rankings to world No. 4 on 1 August.[25]

North American hard court swing

Playing the Canadian Open for the first time in his career, Alcaraz received a bye into the second round, where he lost in an upset to Tommy Paul.[26] He reached the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open, where he lost to Cameron Norrie.[27]

Alcaraz then entered the US Open for the second time in his career. Prior to the tournament, Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas were all in contention to take over the World No. 1 singles ranking. Alcaraz made it through the first three rounds without dropping a set. In the fourth round, he defeated former champion Marin Čilić in five sets. In the quarterfinals, Alcaraz saved a match point in the fourth set before recovering to win in five sets against Jannik Sinner. The match lasted five hours and fifteen minutes, and recorded the latest finish in the history of the tournament at 2:50AM.[28] Alcaraz then played a third consecutive five-setter in the semifinals to defeat Frances Tiafoe.[29] He then faced 5th seed Casper Ruud, in a final where both players were in contention for the world No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz won the match in four sets to claim his first major title.

Alcaraz became the youngest No. 1 in the history of the ATP Rankings at the age of 19 years, 4 months and 6 days, breaking Lleyton Hewitt's record, and the second youngest all-time behind Lew Hoad.[30][31] He also became the youngest men's major champion since Nadal at the 2005 French Open, the youngest US Open champion since Pete Sampras in 1990, and the first man born in the 2000s to win a major singles title. At 23 hours and 39 minutes of play duration across his seven matches, Alcaraz spent the longest time on court in major history (a record later broken by Medvedev at the 2024 Australian Open).[32]

Indoor hard court season

In his first match as world No. 1, Alcaraz lost his singles match at the 2022 Davis Cup Finals to Félix Auger-Aliassime.[33] Alcaraz then entered the Astana Open, where he lost in the first round to lucky loser David Goffin.[34] In Basel, he reached the semifinals, where he lost again to eventual champion Auger-Aliassime.[35] At the Paris Masters, he retired in the quarterfinals down a set against eventual champion Holger Rune due to an internal tear in his left abdominal wall.[36] This nonetheless remains Alcaraz's most successful run at the Paris Masters to date. Due to this injury, Alcaraz withdrew from both the Davis Cup Finals and his first chance at playing the ATP Finals, bringing his season to a close.[37] Alcaraz, at the age of 19 years and 214 days, ended the year as youngest and first teenage world No. 1 in the ATP era, and second youngest of all-time behind Hoad.[38][39]
