Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest man ever to complete a career grand slam on Sunday, adding the Australian Open title to his trophy cabinet after defeating Novak Djokovic in an enthralling mens final. Despite losing the first set to a rampant Djokovic, laser-focused on sealing a record-breaking 25th grand slam title, Alcaraz rallied to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 and confirm his status as the world No.1.
It was always going to be a monumental task for Djokovic to defeat his younger opponent, especially after he dug so deep to defeat world No. 2 Jannik Sinner in a five-set semifinal on Friday.
But at 38 years old, and against the continuing dominance of Sinner and Alcaraz, there are fewer and fewer opportunities left for the Serb to win that elusive 25th title, which would take him clear of Margaret Court and make him the most decorated tennis player in history.
