Carlos Alcaraz will no doubt maintain his position as men's world number 1 in tennis, as he powers through to another victory, this time at the Japan Open.
He did drop the first set against Casper Ruud, but managed a comeback, and ultimately the match was settled with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win - he's currently playing Taylor Fritz in the finale.
But the victory does mark a new record by Alcaraz, regardless of whether he actually wins Japan Open. As CNN reports, the victory against Ruud is Alcaraz' 66th win this tour, which is a new world record for the most victories ever as part of a single season.
Funnily enough, the previous record holder was Alcaraz himself with 65 wins in a single season, which he set back in 2023.
"It's just about details, so I just tried to be more positive than the first set," Alcaraz told ATP after the win.
