'Best way to finish the year' for Next Gen champion Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz became the first Spaniard to win the Next Gen ATP Finals when the 18-year-old beat American Sebastian Korda 4-3 (5), 4-2, 4-2 in Milan to cap a memorable breakthrough season.

With the "first-to-four" format in place, top seed Alcaraz needed only 82 minutes to seal his second title of the season.

He saved all six break points he faced while breaking twice and firing 15 winners past the 21-year-old Korda.

Alcaraz, who climbed into the top 50 in the rankings this year, also became the youngest player with 32 Tour-level victories in a year since Ukrainian Andrei Medvedev in 1992. "I feel amazing ... It's the best way to finish the year," Alcaraz said.
