Carlos Alcaraz made history on Sunday, becoming the youngest man ever to complete a career grand slam after capturing the Australian Open title with a thrilling victory over Novak Djokovic in the men’s final.
Despite dropping the first set 2-6 to a determined Djokovic, who was chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, Alcaraz rallied to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5, cementing his status as the world No.1.
The victory marks a remarkable milestone for the 20-year-old Spaniard, who has rapidly established himself as one of the brightest talents in tennis. Alcaraz’s composure and resilience under pressure were on full display as he overcame the experienced Djokovic, a 38-year-old chasing further history.
Djokovic had himself battled hard in the semifinals, defeating world No. 2 Jannik Sinner in a grueling five-set match just two days earlier. Yet against the youthful dominance of Alcaraz, the Serb’s chances of claiming a record 25th Grand Slam—and surpassing Margaret Court as the most decorated tennis player in history—grow increasingly slim.
Alcaraz’s victory not only secures his place in the record books but also signals a generational shift in men’s tennis, with the young Spaniard poised to lead the sport for years to come.
