Entering this year’s Australian Open, the 22-year-old had one clear goal: complete the Career Grand Slam. Having already won twice at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings was determined to complete the historic set in Melbourne.
Alcaraz didn’t drop a set en route to the last four before rallying from 3-5 against Alexander Zverev in the fifth set to win the longest semi-final in tournament history (five hours and 27 minutes). Alcaraz then defeated 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the final to win his seventh major and first in Australia.
