The game

Carlos Alcaraz won the Australian Open title after defeating Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the final by a score of 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, and 7-5, becoming, at 22 years and 272 days old, the first player to win all four Grand Slam titles.

Alcaraz is riding a wave of momentum that promises he’ll be the new face of tennis, and at just 22 years old, he managed to defeat the Serbian, who had won his first Grand Slam in Australia back in 2008, the only title he held at that age. Meanwhile, the Spaniard has already amassed six Grand Slam titles.

The first time at the Australian Open

This is the first time Alcaraz has won the Australian Open.

The Spaniard, who took three hours and four minutes to overcome the Balkan player, the youngest to triumph in Melbourne and to amass seven major titles, adds this victory to his two at Wimbledon, Roland Garros, and the US Open, bringing his total to seven.

What does the ranking look like?

The player from Murcia, moreover, consolidates his status as world number one, while Djokovic, who failed to win his 25th Grand Slam, rises to third in the rankings.
