The 2023 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season officially began on 16 January 2023, with the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne.^[2][3] Alcaraz returned to action at the Argentina Open following injury suffered prior to the Australian Open.^[4]

During this season, Alcaraz:

• Clinched the world number 1 ranking for a career total 36 weeks (as of 4 September 2023).
• Won his 1st Wimbledon title (2nd slam career total)
• Successfully defended a Masters 1000 for the first time at the Madrid Masters (Won 3rd & 4th career total)
• 100th career victory

Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the Australian Open 2023 after suffering a hamstring injury in his right leg while training.^[5]

Top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz won his first title since his milestone US Open triumph by beating Cameron Norrie in straight sets 6–3, 7–5 in the final at the Argentina Open.^[6]

Alcaraz lost the final to Cameron Norrie. The pair had also met the previous week in the championship match of the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, where Alcaraz triumphed.

He reached the semifinals after the retirement of Jack Draper, and after defeating eighth seed Félix Auger-Aliassime.^[7][8] In an anticipated match, he defeated eleventh seed Jannik Sinner in straight sets to reach the final, in which he defeated no.2 seed Daniil Medvedev to lift the trophy^[9]

In Miami he was the defending champion, he reached the semifinals having not dropped a set defeating Facundo Bagnis, Dušan Lajović, 16th seed Tommy Paul and ninth seed Taylor Fritz. This time he lost to tenth seed Jannik Sinner in three sets.^[10]

Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from Monte Carlo citing physical discomfort following his semifinal defeat in Miami.^[11]

Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Barcelona title, having won it in 2022. In 2023 he won the title without losing a set all week, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final in straight sets.^[12]

Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Madrid title, having won it in 2022. He beat lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff in the final in three sets. This was Carlos' 21st consecutive match win on Spanish clay.^[13]

Playing the Italian Open for the first time in his career, Alcaraz was upset by World number 135 Fábián Marozsán in straight sets in the third round. Marozsán became the lowest ranked player to beat Carlos Alcaraz since July 2021.^[14]

At the 2023 Queen's Club Championships he recorded his first career tournament win on grass beating Australian Alex de Minaur in the final. The tournament win in London also returned him to the World Number 1 rankings and meant he would be top seed for the gentlemen's singles at 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated the four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final, 1–6, 7–6^(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. It was his first Wimbledon title.^[15]

Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Daniil Medvedev were in contention for the men's singles No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz retained the No. 1 ranking with his victory,^[16][17] and became the first player to qualify for the year-end championships.^[18]
