#1 was really easy. You all overthought it. It was Jannik Sinner, lol. He won the Sofia Open in November 2020.

Actually, there was someone between Sinner and Alcaraz - that is, someone younger than Sinner who won his first title before Alcaraz did. So it goes:

SINNER
(Mystery Player)
ALCARAZ
FILS
SHANG

I'll go check the birthdays of the 2021 ATP Tour winners, but I'm pretty sure no one younger than Sinner won in between.

OK, I'll "out with it."

Sinner (born 8/16/01) first title: Sofia, Nov 2020

Spoiler: Mystery Player

Juan Manuel Cerundolo (11/15/01) first and only title: Cordoba, Feb 2021

Alcaraz (5/3/03) first title: Umag, July 2021

So that's five months before Alcaraz, as the reigning "Youngest Title Holder."
