Carlos Alcaraz finished 2022 as the youngest ever World No.1 in Tennis. He reached the top spot after winning the US Open this year. For Alcaraz, the Mubadala Championship will be the first event of the preseason. The exhibition event is set to feature Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, Cameron Norrie and Borna Coric apart from Alcaraz.
All the matches in this tournament will be knockouts. Alcaraz will begin his campaign on December 17. He will face either Andrey Rublev or Borna Coric. The Spaniard last featured in the semifinals of the Paris Masters this year. He played against fellow teenager Hogler Rune in the semifinals. He however withdrew from the match midway after suffering an abdominal injury.
The teenager subsequently missed the ATP World Tour finals. But he was crowned as the year-end World No.1 following Rafael Nadal’s group stage exit from the tournament. Just one week ago, Alcaraz began his first practice after recovering from the injury.
The upcoming year will be a challenging one for the teenager. He will be top seed in majority of the events and will go in with weight of expectations. Alcaraz is expected to begin his 2023 season with the Australian Open.
