**Beijing, China – September 29, 2024** – Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has reached a remarkable milestone in his career, becoming the second-fastest player in history to achieve 200 ATP Tour wins. The 20-year-old star achieved this feat after defeating Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 6-1, 6-2 in the second round of the China Open 2024.
Alcaraz, a four-time Grand Slam champion, now sits behind only tennis legend John McEnroe, who reached the milestone in 245 matches. Alcaraz achieved this feat in his 252nd match, surpassing the likes of Novak Djokovic (274), Roger Federer (302) and even Rafael Nadal (255) who sits third on the list.
“I’m really happy about it; 200 wins is a great number,” said Alcaraz after his victory. “But I am already looking for the third hundred. I just want to keep going, to keep rolling. I am looking forward to playing matches and to keep doing the things that I am doing.”
Alcaraz will now face Karen Khachanov of Russia in the quarterfinals on Diamond Court on Monday, September 30.
