As much as Carlos Alcaraz tries to deflect attention away from the pressure he's facing this clay court season, there is no denying his greatness. It was cemented in his match against Alexander Bublik on Friday afternoon in the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters quarterfinal. Alcaraz rolled over Bublik in straight sets: 6-3, 6-0. The Spanish superstar reached the Monte-Carlo semifinals for the second consecutive year with the victory. Moreover, Alcaraz picked up his 300th ATP Tour-level match win.

By reaching the incredible career milestone, Alcaraz is tied for the third fastest player to reach 300 singles victories in the Open Era, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. Only Rod Laver (355 matches) and Jimmy Connors (363 matches) did it faster than Alcaraz. Keeping with good company, Alcaraz tied American tennis legend John McEnroe by hitting the mark in 367 singles matches. Of course, that also means Alcaraz beat each member of the "Big Three" as well as Jannik Sinner in the race to 300 wins.
