Yearly summary
Early hard court season
Alcaraz withdrew from the Australian Open after suffering an injury to the hamstring in his right leg during preseason training.[5] Following the tournament, Alcaraz lost the World No. 1 ranking to Novak Djokovic; he had held it for a total of 20 weeks.
Golden Swing
Alcaraz made his season debut in the Argentina Open, where he was playing for the first time. He defeated second seed Cameron Norrie in the final in straight sets to claim his first title since his first major win at the US Open in 2022.[6] The next week, Alcaraz reached the final of the Rio Open, where he was defending champion, also against Norrie; however, he aggravated his leg injury during the match and lost in three sets.[7] Alcaraz then withdrew from the Mexican Open, citing the same injury.[8]
Sunshine Double tournaments
Alcaraz then returned to Indian Wells. He recorded his 100th career win by defeating 31st seed Tallon Griekspoor in the third round, making him the second fastest player to reach this milestone after John McEnroe.[9] He defeated eleventh seed Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, and second seed Daniil Medvedev in the final, to lift the trophy without dropping a single set.[10] This was Alcaraz's eighth career title and third ATP 1000 title. He broke Medvedev's 19-match winning streak, and became the first player to win Indian Wells without dropping a set since Roger Federer in 2017. He also became the ninth and youngest man to win both legs of the Sunshine Double. As a result, he regained the world no. 1 ranking on 20 March 2023.[11]
Alcaraz hoped to complete the Sunshine Double in Miami, where he was the defending champion. He reached the semifinals without dropping a set, defeating Facundo Bagnis, Dušan Lajović, 16th seed Tommy Paul and ninth seed Taylor Fritz. He then lost to Jannik Sinner in three sets.[12] With the loss of his title points, Alcaraz dropped back to no. 2 in the world rankings.[13]
Clay court season
Alcaraz withdrew from Monte-Carlo, citing "physical discomfort" including post-traumatic arthritis in his left hand and muscular discomfort in his spine.[14] He returned to successfully defend his title in Barcelona; defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, he won the tournament without dropping a set.[15] He then also successfully defended his title in Madrid, beating lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff in the final in three sets. This was Alcaraz's 21st consecutive match win on Spanish clay.[16] Alcaraz then played the Italian Open for the first time in his career, where he retrieved the world no. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic after just his second round match. However, he was upset by World No. 135 Fábián Marozsán in straight sets in the third round. Marozsán became the lowest ranked player to beat Alcaraz since July 2021.[17] Jon Wertheim labelled this the biggest upset of the year.[18]
Alcaraz arrived at Roland-Garros in red-hot form, and only dropped one set before the semifinals (to Taro Daniel in the second round). In the semifinals, Alcaraz met Novak Djokovic for their second career meeting. This was a highly anticipated showdown, as the two men had not played a match in over a year despite their ongoing fight over the world no. 1 ranking.[19][20] The match was competitive until Alcaraz faltered at the start of the third set due to cramps from mental pressure and physical intensity; Djokovic won in four sets, going on to win the tournament and regain the no. 1 ranking.[21]
Grass court season
Alcaraz elected to play a warm-up tournament before Wimbledon for the first time. He defeated Alex de Minaur in the final of the Queen's Club Championships. This was Alcaraz's first career title on grass, in only his third tournament on grass.[22] This victory also returned Alcaraz to the world no. 1 ranking, and positioned him as top seed for Wimbledon.[23]
Despite this victory, expectations remained relatively muted for Alcaraz at Wimbledon. However, Alcaraz only dropped two sets en route to the final, defeating Jérémy Chardy, Alexandre Müller, Nicolas Jarry, Matteo Berrettini, Holger Rune, and Daniil Medvedev. In the final, he faced off against seven-time champion and four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic. After being breadsticked in a lopsided first set, Alcaraz regrouped to win the second set in a tiebreak and to breadstick Djokovic back in the third set. He lost the fourth set, but broke early in the fifth to win the match. The match had lasted four hours and forty-two minutes, and was instantly acclaimed as a modern epic.[24] This was Alcaraz's first Wimbledon title, and his second major title overall.[25] Alcaraz became the only man outside the Big Four to claim the Wimbledon singles title since 2002, before he himself had been born.[26] Prior to the tournament, Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev had both been in contention to seize the No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz retained the ranking with his victory,[27][28] and became the first player to qualify for the year-end championships.[29]
North American hard court season
Alcaraz entered the Canadian Open for the second time in his career. He reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to Tommy Paul for the second year in a row. This ended Alcaraz's fourteen-match winning streak.[30] Alcaraz then played Cincinnati. He was taken to three sets in every round but nevertheless reached the final, where he once again faced off against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz took an initial lead, but Djokovic fought off a championship point to eventually prevail in three sets. The match was the longest best-of-three-sets ATP Tour final in history, as well as the longest match in the tournament's history, at 3 hours and 49 minutes. It was once again immediately heralded as one of the best matches ever.[31][32] Alcaraz then entered the US Open as defending champion. Having dropped only one set to reach the semifinal, Alcaraz was then upset in four sets by another former champion, third seed Daniil Medvedev.[33] Following the tournament Alcaraz lost the no. 1 ranking once again to eventual champion Djokovic, who had not been defending any points.[34] He additionally withdrew from the Davis Cup Finals, citing tiredness.[35]
Asian hard court swing
Alcaraz then played the Asian Swing for the first time. In Beijing, he reached the semifinals, where he lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in straight sets.[36] In Shanghai, he lost in the fourth round to Grigor Dimitrov.[37]
Alcaraz entered the year-end indoor hardcourt season with the goal of gaining the year-end no. 1 ranking.[38][39] However, in the Asian swing, he lost to Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of Beijing for a second time in the season, and then to Grigor Dimitrov in the round of 16 at Shanghai.[40][41] He then withdrew from Basel due to injury,[42] and lost in his opening round at the Paris Masters to Roman Safiullin.[43] At the ATP Finals in Turin, Alcaraz reached the semifinals after beating Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev, and losing to Alexander Zverev, in the round-robin stage. In the semis, he was defeated by eventual champion Novak Djokovic for a third time that season.[44] Ultimately, Alcaraz ended the season as the year-end world no. 2.[45]
Indoor hard court season
Alcaraz withdrew from Basel, citing a left foot injury and muscle fatigue in his lower back.[46] He then entered the Paris Masters. He received a bye into the second round, where he was upset by qualifier Roman Safiullin in straight sets.[47] This was Alcaraz's first and only opening round loss of the season. He qualified for the ATP Finals for the second year in a row, and played them for the first time. Alcaraz lost to Alexander Zverev in the round robin stage but defeated Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev to qualify for the semifinals, where he lost decisively to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets.[48] Alcaraz ended the year ranked no. 2; to date this is the last season during which he was ranked world no. 1.
