STEVE: BACK ON TC LIVE. REMEMBER THAT IN SEPTEMBER, CARLOS ALCARAZ TURNING NEW YORK INTO A TEENAGE WASTELAND, WINNING THE U.S. OPEN TO BECOME THE FIRST MAN BORN IN THE 2000'S TO WIN A MAJOR AND FIRST TEENAGER TO REACH NUMBER ONE IN ATP RANKINGS HISTORY. HE IS THE YOUNGEST MAN TO REACH THE TOP SPOT BY OVER A YEAR. TAKE A LOOK AT OUR YOUNG KINGS. LLEYTON HEWITT THE RECORD BEFORE THAT. ANDY RODDICK. HE COULD SIT AT SWEETENS COVE WHEN HE GOT TO NUMBER ONE. COURIER AND MCENROE AS WELL. WHAT CAUGHT -- WHAT CARLOS ALCARAZ IS DOING HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. JIM:JIM: IT HAS BEEN REMARKABLE TO SEE HIS RISE. WE DID NOT REALIZE HE WOULD BE THIS GOOD, THIS FAST. WE COULD SEE IT COMING ON. BUT IT ALL CLICKED FOR HIM AT THE U.S. OPEN. POSSIBLY AIDED BY NOVAK NOT BEING THERE. . YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT IN AS A FACTOR. THERE IS NO DOUBT NOVAK'S INABILITY TO PLAY IN HIS FAVORITE PLACES MADE IT AN EASIER RISE. ALCARAZ'S GAME IS READY FOR THE BIG TIME. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IN 10, 15 YEARS WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HIS CAREER. STEVE: HALF THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT PLAY IN THE ATP FINALS AND GETS NO POINTS THERE AND THE YEAR-END NUMBER ONE. ANDY: THERE WAS NOTHING TO DEFEND. THIS KIDS RISE HAS BEEN METEORIC. HE PASSES THE EYE TEST FOR SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO WIN MAJORS. TO GET TO NUMBER ONE, THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR, I THINK YOU WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT THINK NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. NUMBER ONE RANKING IS CARLOS ALCARAZ, WELL-DESERVED. WAS UNBELIEVABLE TO WATCH THIS YEAR. I WISH BADLY THAT HE WAS MIXING IT UP THIS WEEK WITH THIS GROUP OF PHENOMENAL PLAYERS. WE WANT HEALTH, HE HAS GOT A LONG CAREER AHEAD OF HIM. HOPEFULLY HE COMES BACK HEALTHY, READY, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM MATCHUP WITH RAFA AND NOVAK AND THE GUYS THAT WILL TRY TO CLAIM THAT TERRITORY FOR AS LONG AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN. WHAT A GIFT TO THE GAME CARLOS ALCARAZ HAS BEEN. STEVE: YOU HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS, TO GET TO THE TOP 10 TO NUMBER ONE, JUST 140 DAYS. HE GOT INTO THE TOP 10 APRIL 25, REACHED NUMBER ONE IS SEPTEMBER 12. THAT IS PRETTY GOOD WORK. JIM: IT IS BUZZ LIGHT YEAR. THAT IS SO FAST UP THE TRACK. SABAN WAS ALSO METEORIC. BUT ALCARAZ IS JUST REMARKABLE HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT SO QUICKLY. HE SEEMS LIKE HE HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL. THAT IS THE THING GREAT ABOUT HIM. THE TEAM AROUND HIM, HE SEEMS LIKE HE IS VERY GROUNDED, AND STILL KNOWS HE HAS TO GET BETTER. THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO STAY UP OR NEAR THE TOP FOR A LONG TIME, AND HAVE TO DO IT AS HIS HEROES CONTINUE TO DO, ADD TO THEIR GAMES WHICH IT SEEMS LIKE HE HAS GOT IT ALL ALREADY. THAT IS ANOTHER THING THAT WILL BE FUN TO SEE. STEVE: I WENT BACK IN THE ARCHIVES FOR WHEN JIM DIDN'T AND IT WAS VERY FAST. HE HAD WON THE US -- YOU HAD T -- I WAS AWARE OF THE SITUATION WHEN YOU WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO. JIM: IF I DID NOT GET IT THAT WE CAN SAN FRANCISCO, THERE WAS A CHANCE I WOULD NOT GET IT. AND BURKE AND I WERE CLOSE BATTLING FOR IT IN THE WAY THE POINTS GO. I WAS THE WINNER OF INDIAN WELLS AND MIAMI COMING UP. IT IS A LOT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET THERE, YOU MIGHT EVEN ONE DAY, AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IS A GOOD DAY. IT IS STRESSFUL. FOR ALCARAZ AND CASPER RUUD, THEY WERE PLAYING NOT ONLY FOR NUMBER ONE, THEY WERE PLAYING FOR THEIR FIRST MAJOR TITLE. THAT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO SEE AT THE U.S. OPEN. STEVE: SOMETHING THEY WILL NEVER AND CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY FROM YOU. THIS ENDS AN 18 YEAR RUN FOR THE BIG FOUR, FINISHING AT YEAR-END NUMBER ONE. TWO DECADES NEARLY OF DOMINANCE. ANDY: YEAH, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THOSE GUYS ARE SELFISH. VERY, VERY SELFISH. KEEPING TITLES FROM THE REST OF US MORTALS. LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL EVER SEE CONSISTENCY LIKE WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE BIG THREE AND THE BIG FOUR OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. EVEN WHEN PETE WAS DOMINANT IN HIS RUN OF FINISHING NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD, HE WOULD LOSE THIRD ROUNDS SOMETIMES. HE HAD A SURFACE HE WAS NOT IN THE TOP FIVE OR 10 IN THE WORLD ON. THEY COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZED THE GAME AS FAR AS CONSISTENCY AND THE STATISTICAL METRICS WHERE THEY ARE MAKING 30 SOME ODD GRAND SLAM SEMIFINALS IN A ROW. IT IS ABSURD. IT TOOK AN ALL WORLD TALENT LIKE A CARLOS ALCARAZ WHO IS A COMPLETE PLAYER AT 19 YEARS OLD. WE CAN GET BETTER IN SOME PLACES BUT WE WOULD BE NITPICKING. STEVE: IT IS REMARKABLE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE VICTORY BEING THE GREATEST OF ALL
