Carlos Alcaraz is going through the most sublime period of his career with a 12-match winning streak. However, the Spanish player still has to admire the unbelievable record of 41 consecutive wins that Novak Djokovic set in 2011.
Although considered the top contender for the Indian Wells Masters 2026 championship, Alcaraz admits that the distance to reach the great milestones of his senior is still very far.
Entering Indian Wells Masters as the champion of the last two seasons (2023 and 2024), Alcaraz is showing extremely impressive form when he has not lost a match since the beginning of the year. The 22-year-old player has won titles at the Australian Open and Qatar Open, thereby increasing his winning streak to 12.
However, this achievement is still quite modest compared to the 41-match unbeaten streak that Djokovic has created since the beginning of the 2011 season - one of the most incredible records in tennis history.
You won't realize how difficult it is until you try to chase after it yourself. When you only win 12 matches, you will see that you still have to win four or five more major tournaments to reach the number 41. It's really hard to believe" - Alcaraz admitted.
If he continues to win at Indian Wells this year, Alcaraz will raise his unbeaten streak to 18. Despite admitting the very big challenge, the world No. 1 player affirmed that he is playing his best tennis and will try to maintain this peak form as long as possible.
