Most titles of his generation: Carlos Alcaraz’s Japan Open win stacks milestones, nudges history’s doors
Carlos Alcaraz won the Japan Open, marking his eighth title in 2025 and elevating his total to 24 ATP singles titles.
Carlos Alcaraz keeps transcending new heights of brilliance and redefining his excellence with each passing tournament. He displayed a clinical and ruthless show as he closed out the final of the Japan Open against Taylor Fritz with the score line reading 6-4,6-4.
With the Japan Open now under his belt, Alcaraz has won eight titles in 2025. He has now tightened his hold on a season that is tracking history. Here is a look at the list of milestones achieved by him after the win against Fritz.
1) 8 Titles this season
As mentioned above, the win in Tokyo marked his eighth title of 2025. In the 21st century, only Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and Jannik Sinner have achieved this besides the Spaniard.
By joining this elite company, he has now surely placed himself within the same conversation as some of the giants in the sport. What makes this achievement even more significant is the spread of the titles. His wins were not confined to a single surface or region. He has shown equal dexterity across hard and clay courts and indoor events, reflecting a wide range.
2) 67 wins in 2025
Numbers in tennis reflect consistency. The Tokyo final victory takes Carlos Alcaraz‘s win count for the season to 67. The most by any player this season and the highest of his still young career.
This figure speaks of two things: his physical durability and the competitive edge he gains under pressure with his tough mentality.
3) 24 career ATP singles titles – most of his generation
The Japan Open pushed Alcaraz’s title tally to 24 ATP singles titles. Notably, he has equaled Alexander Zverev for the most titles won by any man born since 1990, and is a clear leader among the players born in the 2000s.
The 22-year-old is showing a hunger and pace for title wins that, if it continues with consistency, will soon place him among the elites of the game.
4) Sweet revenge for Laver Cup
This win came nine days after Fritz nicked him at the Laver Cup. A much sharper, tactically aware, and aggressive Alcaraz turned up in Tokyo, taking a sweet revenge for his earlier loss.
5) Conquering Tokyo on debut
‘He came. He saw. He conquered.’ This would be the apt way to define Alcaraz’s journey in the Japan Open. This was his first appearance at the tournament, and he walked out the champion. This tournament has the tradition of producing champions who adapt quickly to its unique conditions. Now, the 22-year-old has joined the list, becoming a debut champion at an ATP 500 event.
Eight titles in a year, sixty-seven wins, twenty-four career trophies, debut win in Tokyo – Alcaraz rightly summed up this as his ‘best season so far.’ In a sport where dominance is measured by sustained excellence, he is already establishing himself among some of the greats. By the signs of it, the era of Alcaraz has already started in tennis; it would be further solidified as the young talent keeps tumbling down milestones.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
