# 2023 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season

The 2023 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season officially began on 16 January 2023, with the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Due to injury, Alcaraz withdrew from the Australian Open and made his season debut at the Argentina Open instead.
During this season, Alcaraz:
* Claimed a career-best six titles in one season
* Won his first Wimbledon title (second major title overall)
* Successfully defended a Masters 1000 for the first time in Madrid
* Recorded his 100th career victory
* Clinched the world number 1 ranking for a career total of 36 weeks (as of 4 September 2023)

## Yearly summary
### Early hard court season

Alcaraz withdrew from the Australian Open after suffering an injury to the hamstring in his right leg during preseason training. Following the tournament, Alcaraz lost the World No. 1 ranking to Novak Djokovic; he had held it for a total of 20 weeks.

### Golden Swing

Alcaraz made his season debut in the Argentina Open, where he was playing for the first time. He defeated Cameron Norrie in the final in straight sets to claim his first title since his first major win at the US Open in 2022. The next week, Alcaraz reached the final of the Rio Open, where he was defending champion, also against Norrie; however, he aggravated his leg injury during the match and lost in three sets. Alcaraz then withdrew from the Mexican Open, citing the same injury.

### Sunshine Double tournaments

Alcaraz then returned to Indian Wells. He defeated eleventh seed Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, and second seed Daniil Medvedev in the final, to lift the trophy without dropping a single set. Alcaraz hoped to complete the Sunshine Double in Miami, where he was the defending champion. He reached the semifinals without dropping a set, but lost there to Jannik Sinner in three sets.

### Clay court season

Alcaraz withdrew from Monte-Carlo, citing "physical discomfort" including post-traumatic arthritis in his left hand and muscular discomfort in his spine. He returned to successfully defend his title in Barcelona, which he once again won without losing a set all week. He then successfully defended his title in Madrid, beating lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff in the final in three sets. This was Alcaraz's 21st consecutive match win on Spanish clay. Alcaraz then played the Italian Open for the first time in his career, where he was upset by World No. 135 Fábián Marozsán in straight sets in the third round. Marozsán became the lowest ranked player to beat Alcaraz since July 2021. Alcaraz arrived at Roland-Garros in red-hot form, and only dropped one set before the semifinals (to Taro Daniel in the second round). In the semifinals, Alcaraz met Novak Djokovic for their second career meeting. This was a highly anticipated showdown, as the two men had not played a match in over a year. The match was competitive until Alcaraz faltered at the start of the third set due to cramps from mental pressure and physical intensity; Djokovic won in four sets.

### Grass court season

Alcaraz elected to play a warm-up tournament before Wimbledon for the first time. He defeated Alex de Minaur in the final of the Queen's Club Championships to claim his first career title on grass. This victory also returned Alcaraz to the World No. 1 ranking, and positioned him as top seed for Wimbledon. Despite relatively muted expectations for him on grass, Alcaraz only dropped two sets en route to the final. In the final, he faced off against seven-time champion and four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic. After being breadsticked in a lopsided first set, Alcaraz regrouped to win the second set in a tiebreak and to breadstick Djokovic back in the third set. He lost the fourth set, but broke early in the fifth to win the match. The match had lasted four hours and forty-two minutes, and was instantly acclaimed as a modern epic. This was Alcaraz's first Wimbledon title, and his second major title overall. Alcaraz became the only man outside the Big Four to claim the Wimbledon singles title since 2002, before he himself had been born. Prior to the tournament, Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev had both been in contention to seize the No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz retained the ranking with his victory, and became the first player to qualify for the year-end championships.

### North American hard court season

Alcaraz entered the Canadian Open for the second time in his career. He reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to Tommy Paul for the second year in a row. This ended Alcaraz's fourteen-match winning streak. Alcaraz then played Cincinnati. He was taken to three sets in every round but nevertheless reached the final, where he once again faced off against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz took an initial lead, but Djokovic fought off a championship point to eventually prevail in three sets. The match was the longest best-of-three-sets ATP Tour final in history, as well as the longest match in the tournament's history, at 3 hours and 49 minutes. It was once again immediately heralded as one of the best matches ever. Alcaraz then entered the US Open as defending champion. Having dropped only one set to reach the semifinal, Alcaraz was then upset in four sets by another former champion, third seed Daniil Medvedev. Following the tournament, Alcaraz lost the World No. 1 ranking to Djokovic again.

### Asian hard court swing

Alcaraz then played the Asian Swing for the first time. In Beijing, he reached the semifinals, where he lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in straight sets. In Shanghai, he lost in the fourth round to Grigor Dimitrov.

### Indoor hard court season

Alcaraz withdrew from Basel, citing a left foot injury and muscle fatigue in his lower back. He then entered the Paris Masters. He received a bye into the second round, where he was upset by qualifier Roman Safiullin in straight sets. This was Alcaraz's first and only opening round loss of the season. He qualified for the ATP Finals for the second year in a row, and played them for the first time. Alcaraz lost to Alexander Zverev in the round robin stage but defeated Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev to qualify for the semifinals, where he lost decisively to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Alcaraz ended the year ranked World No. 2; to date this is the last season during which he was ranked World No. 1.
