While the World No. 1 Pole has won as many as seven WTA singles titles, including two Grand Slams and four WTA 1000 events this season, she has also broken Venus Williams’ streak of 35 consecutive match-wins, winning 37.
The 19-year-old Spaniard became the youngest-ever ATP World No.1 when he downed Casper Ruud in the US Open title clash earlier this month. He won four titles earlier in the year, including two Masters 1000 tournaments in Miami and Madrid.
The Spaniard recently tweeted to reveal that he has been named in the 2022 TIME100 Next list, a list in which TIME includes 1000 rising stars from across industries around the world. While it was a proud moment for the tennis world to see Alcaraz’s name on the elite list, some fans expressed their disappointment, arguing that Swiatek deserved it more than him.
