Fifth seed Carlos Alcaraz outclassed eighth seed Pablo Busta to claim the 2022 Barcelona Open title. The 18-year-old breezed past his fellow countryman in straight sets 6-3, 6-2. Notably, Alcaraz hasn't lost a final to date, winning all four titles in straight sets. Moreover, the Spaniard has also breached the Top 10 (ninth in ATP Rankings). Here are the key stats.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Alcaraz's career has risen by leaps and bounds in 2022.
  • It was his third win at an ATP event this season.
  • As an 18-year-old, Alcaraz has now stepped into the Top 10 (ATP Rankings) after winning the Barcelona Open this year.
  • Interestingly, Rafael Nadal had emulated a similar feat in 2005.
  • Clearly, the sky is the limit for the youngster.
