Carlos Alcaraz, aged 22, claimed the Australian Open title by defeating Novak Djokovic in four sets, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. This victory marks Alcaraz’s seventh major championship and completes his collection of all four Grand Slam titles.
The win also prevented Djokovic from achieving a record 25th Grand Slam title. Alcaraz’s achievement makes him the youngest male player to win each of the sport’s four major tournaments at least once.
**Why this matters**
Completing a career Grand Slam is a significant milestone in tennis, demonstrating versatility and success across all major surfaces. Alcaraz’s accomplishment at a young age highlights his rising status in the sport and signals a potential shift in men’s tennis dominance. Meanwhile, Djokovic’s pursuit of a record 25th major title remains a key storyline in the sport.
