Carlos Alcaraz beats Novak Djokovic in Australian Open final
MELBOURNE, Australia — Carlos Alcaraz is the youngest man ever to complete a career Grand Slam after securing the Australian Open title against Novak Djokovic, who had never lost in his 10 previous finals at Melbourne Park.
Alcaraz, at 22 years, 272 days old, showed no ill effects of the severe cramping that nearly derailed his 5½-hour epic semifinal win against third-seed Alexander Zverev just 48 hours earlier, as he outhustled and overwhelmed the 24-time Grand Slam champion to prevail 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 3 hours, 2 minutes.
After securing the championship point, Alcaraz dropped his racket and fell to the Rod Laver Arena court. He soaked in the moment for a few seconds before shaking hands with Djokovic at the net then running to hug his coaching team seated courtside and his father up in the stands.
Carlos Alcaraz has the career Grand Slam, but his tennis legend is long in the writing
MELBOURNE, Australia — Carlos Alcaraz thrives when the tennis record books are within reach, and he has to do hard things to write his name in them.
With a scrambling, grinding, comeback win in the Australian Open final over the greatest player the sport has ever known, Alcaraz showed Novak Djokovic and the rest of the world they shouldn’t doubt his dream of becoming the greatest player ever, or that he can turn a match in a single point as no one else can.
“I hate to lose, that’s my motivation,” Alcaraz said after taking a gulp of champagne at his post-match news conference.

Novak Djokovic came up just short of capturing a record-breaking 25th major title Sunday in Melbourne.
Two days after ousting Jannik Sinner in five sets, Djokovic ultimately went down at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5, to suffer his first loss in 11 Australian Open finals.
The 22-year-old wasn’t the only Spanish icon inside Rod Laver Arena though, as 22-time Grand Slam title holder Rafael Nadal was front and center for the blockbuster showdown.
“Too many Spanish legends, felt like I was two against one tonight. It wasn’t fair, but OK!” joked Djokovic during his runner-up speech.
