Consistency is key \u2014 just ask Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n
The world No 2 and five-time Grand Slam champion has been in dominant form in recent months and has sailed through to his fourth US Open<\/a> quarter-final this week.<\/p>\n Alcaraz\u2019s<\/a> rivalry with Jannik Sinner has often seen him labelled as inconsistent compared to the Italian, though that narrative should begin to change after the most impressive spell of the 22-year-old\u2019s career to date.<\/p>\n Here, we look at five key stats that will silence Alcaraz\u2019s \u2018consistency\u2019 critics.<\/p>\n For the first time in his career, Alcaraz has reached at least the last eight of all four majors in an individual season.<\/p>\n A straight-sets victory over Arthur Rinderknech on Sunday<\/a> fired the Spaniard into the last eight in New York, twelve months on from a shock second-round loss to Botic van de Zandschulp<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier this season, Alcaraz reached the Australian Open quarter-finals before winning his second straight French Open title and reaching his third straight Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n Aged 22 years and 11 days, only Pete Sampras (1993) and Rafael Nadal (2008) have achieved this feat at a younger age than Alcaraz, who has already achieved 21 wins at Grand Slam level this year.<\/p>\n That is already ahead of his previous personal best of 19 major match wins recorded last season, with Alcaraz still able to finish 2025 with a maximum of 24 match wins.<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic retirement theory floated by former world No 1 \u2013 and it\u2019s not what you might expect<\/a><\/p>\n Taylor Fritz speaks out on his brutal record against Novak Djokovic ahead of US Open clash<\/a><\/p>\n Of the eight men\u2019s singles quarter-finalists in New York, Alcaraz stands out as the only man yet to drop a set in Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n In fact, he has only twice dropped more than four games in a set \u2014 in the second set of his opening match against Reilly Opelka<\/a>, and his first set against Rinderknech on Sunday.<\/p>\n In the past, Alcaraz has been accused of drifting or losing concentration during matches and dropping multiple sets through his early matches at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.<\/p>\n However, he has been relentless in New York this week, particularly during his second and third-round matches against Mattia Bellucci and 32nd seed Luciano Darderi.<\/p>\n Against the two Italians, he dropped a combined 10 games across two ruthless performances.<\/p>\n This has already been Alcaraz\u2019s joint-most successful season in terms of titles won, with six titles won to match his haul from across the entirety of 2023.<\/p>\n However, it is his recent streak of consecutive finals that is most striking.<\/p>\n After losing in his opening match of the Miami Open to David Goffin in March, the 22-year-old has now reached the final of his next seven events, as of the Cincinnati Open.<\/p>\n Alcaraz beat Lorenzo Musetti to seal his first Monte Carlo Masters title in April<\/a>, before defeat to Holger Rune in the Barcelona Open final.<\/p>\n He then withdrew from Madrid, but then beat key rival Jannik Sinner in both the Italian Open and French Open finals, before victory over Jiri Lehecka at the Queen\u2019s Club.<\/p>\n The world No 2 then tasted defeat to Sinner at Wimbledon<\/a>, though prevailed in Cincinnati after the Italian\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n Alcaraz\u2019s recent streak is evident through his run of finals, but it becomes even more apparent when you look at his sheer volume of wins during that time.<\/p>\n Since his loss to Goffin in Miami, the 22-year-old has won a staggering 43 of his 45 most recent matches \u2014 a win rate of 95.56% in that time.<\/p>\n The only people to beat him are Rune in Barcelona and Sinner at Wimbledon, with an impressive nine of his 43 wins coming against top-10 players.<\/p>\n Even before his incredible run, Alcaraz\u2019s 2025 season as a whole has been solid enough to highlight just how good he has been this year.<\/p>\n Until the start of the clay swing, the Spaniard held a 15-4 record, with his most notable success being his first-ever indoor title at the Rotterdam Open in February.<\/p>\n Ahead of his US Open quarter-final against Lehecka, Alcaraz holds an astonishing win rate of 90.63% for 2025 so far.<\/p>\n Though he still has the conclusion of his New York campaign and the remaining two months of the season to come, he is on track for his highest-ever win percentage.<\/p>\n Alcaraz\u2019s previous best win percentage came in 2023, when he won 84.42% (65-12) of his matches, with an 80.33% (49-12) record in 2024.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>: ATP Rankings Winners & Losers US Open: Alcaraz No 1, Fritz wins American battle, Djokovic top five, Tiafoe -12<\/a><\/p>\n The post How Carlos Alcaraz silenced \u2018consistency\u2019 critics with stunning 2025 form<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Consistency is key \u2014 just ask Carlos Alcaraz.
