Rune has had a breakout season in 2022 and won his maiden Masters 1000 title in Paris by beating Novak Djokovic in the final, which also helped him enter the top 10 of the ATP rankings.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Tursunov was asked if any youngster had impressed him. He praised Paris Masters champion Rune for his rapid improvement and also said that Alcaraz being the World No. 1 at the age of 19 is helpful for the Dane as it would make him believe that reaching the top at a young age was possible.
Carlos Alcaraz is the year-end World No.1 for 2022
Carlos Alcaraz will end 2022 as the top-ranked ATP player and was awarded the ATP year-end World No. 1 trophy during the ATP Finals in Turin. The Spaniard became the first player outside of the Big 4 — Roger Federer, Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray — to attain the feat.
Alcaraz said that it felt incredible to be recognized alongside some of the legends of the game.
The Spaniard also said that he would’ve been happy if Rafael Nadal had taken the No. 1 ranking from his grasp.
