After the victory of Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open against Casper Ruud after a match of contention and patience by the Spaniard, he is the new leader of the ATP. A double award that has been won in a prodigious year. He arrived at the US Open 2021 55 in the world and leaves a year later as number 1 in the world.
