It’s not that anyone was shocked to see him do it. The way he dismantled Alexander Bublik 6-3, 6-0 showed just how sharp he is right now.
He spotted his chance and grabbed it without hesitation. Bublik’s unique style can throw players off, but Alcaraz stayed composed throughout. Once he settled into the match, there was only ever going to be one outcome.

He got there after beating Bublik, becoming just the third to do it. It took him 367 matches to reach that number.
Jimmy Connors needed 365 matches, while Rod Laver managed it in just 355. McEnroe also hit the milestone in 367 matches. Rafael Nadal and Boris Becker were close behind, reaching it in 373 and 374 matches respectively.
Alcaraz himself has admitted he expects Jannik Sinner to take over as world number one soon. But this achievement is another highlight for a player whose career is still very much on the rise.
