At the end of the year, he was in the quarterfinals of the US Open. The following year, he was in the quarters at Roland Garros, the third round of the Aussie Open, and the fourth round of Wimbledon.

Later in 2022, he made the French Open quarter-finals and Wimbledon fourth round, but would claim a breakthrough major triumph at the US Open, winning three consecutive five-set matches to make the final, which he won 6-4 2-6 7-6(7-1) 6-3 over Casper Ruud. Alcaraz finished the 2022 ATP season as the world number one.

In 2023, Alcaraz missed the Australian Open due to injury but returned with a run of titles, including at Indian Wells. Alcaraz lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 French Open semi-finals, not helped by cramps.

But at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, Alcaraz got the better of Djokovic in an epic five-set final. That ended Djokovic’s Wimbledon domination, snapping his 34-match winning streak at the event and breaking the ‘big-four’s domination of the event dating back to 2002.

In 2024, Alcaraz claimed a career-first Olympics silver medal, losing the final to Novak Djokovic in Paris.
