Carlos Alcaraz won his first Australian Open title on Sunday, defeating Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in the final to complete a career Grand Slam at age 22. This marks him as the youngest man in history to achieve the feat, surpassing Don Budge's record from 1938. The triumph adds to Alcaraz's growing legacy, highlighted by record crowds and challenging heat conditions at Melbourne Park.
Carlos Alcaraz has faced fan backlash after displaying a racket bag at the Miami Open inscribed with 'YOUNGEST EVER TO WIN THE 4 OF THEM (Grand Slams),' overlooking women's tennis records set by Steffi Graf and Serena Williams at younger ages. Journalist José Morgado clarified it refers to the youngest man, following Alcaraz's recent career grand slam completion.
