Carlos Alcaraz has achieved the career Grand Slam by defeating Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final, becoming the youngest man in ATP history to win all four majors. Despite this milestone, several prestigious ATP titles remain absent from his resume. These include key ATP 1000 events and the year-end ATP Finals.
Alcaraz's triumph over Djokovic at the Australian Open marked a historic achievement, solidifying his place among tennis elites. Published reports highlight that while he now holds titles from all Grand Slams, gaps persist in his collection of ATP 1000 Masters trophies and the ATP Finals.
In the Canadian Open, Alcaraz has entered twice but failed to advance beyond the quarterfinals. In 2022, Tommy Paul defeated him in the second round, and Paul repeated the upset in 2023.
The Shanghai Masters has seen similar limited success across two appearances. As the top seed in 2023, Alcaraz suffered a shock loss to No. 18 seed Grigor Dimitrov. He reached the quarterfinals in 2024 before falling to No. 30 seed Tomas Machac. Alcaraz skipped the 2025 edition to recover from an ankle injury.
The Paris Masters has been the most challenging, with five entries yielding two second-round exits and a best of quarterfinals in 2022. That year, he beat Yoshihito Nishioka and Grigor Dimitrov before retiring due to an abdominal strain. His 2021 run included a second-round win over Jannik Sinner but a third-round defeat to unseeded Hugo Gaston. He has advanced past the second round only once since.
For the ATP Finals, Alcaraz qualified in 2022 but withdrew with an internal oblique muscle tear. In 2023, he topped his group but lost in straight sets to Djokovic in the semifinals. A group-stage exit followed in 2024 against Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud. In 2025, he topped the group, won his semifinal, but fell to Sinner in the final, 7-6, 7-5.
These omissions underscore areas for growth in Alcaraz's otherwise stellar career.
