Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has made sports history by becoming the youngest man to win all four Grand Slam tournaments. In the final of the Australian Open, he staged a comeback victory against Novak Djokovic with a score of 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.
At the start of the match, 38-year-old Djokovic, aiming to extend his record to a 25th title, looked dominant and easily took the first set in 33 minutes. However, the 22-year-old Alcaraz managed to turn the tide of the match, demonstrating character and a high level of play.
"It means a lot. It's something I've been looking for for a long time," Alcaraz shared. "Tennis can change in a single point. One feeling, one shot can completely change the match."
Alcaraz broke the record set by Don Budge in 1938. He now has seven major titles to his name, including victories at Wimbledon, the French Open, the US Open, and now the Australian Open.
After changing his coaching staff at the end of last season, when Juan Carlos Ferrero left the team, the athlete faced challenges. "The preseason was a bit of an emotional roller coaster," Alcaraz admitted.
"No one knows how hard I have been working to get this trophy. I just chased this moment for so long," Alcaraz added, thanking his team for their support.
