Carlos Alcaraz

The 56-year-old from Vastervik, Sweden opened his tally with his landmark victory in the year 1985 as he claimed the Australian Open when only 19 years and 324 days of age. With early positive indicators such as his triumphant run at the Flushing Meadows, a bet on his road to sporting greatness doesn’t seem like a fool’s gamble. Becker would go from strength to strength after his maiden SW19 crowd, which he successfully defended the following year. The American hero, Sampras, who claimed 7 Wimbledon titles, started his journey into the annals of tennis history when he clinched his first ever grand slam title in his own backyard as he marched out of the US Open back in the year 1990 as champion at the age of 19 years and 29 days. He also achieved this feat whilst he was still an unseeded player, which makes it all the more special. He would fail in his French Open title defence the following year but would manage to win the clay court open twice over and would also add three Australian Open titles and a US Open crown.

He is the youngest since Rafael Nadal in 2005 to win a Grand Slam title.

Alcaraz is the youngest since Pete Sampras in 1990 to win a Grand Slam title in men's tennis and the youngest since Rafael Nadal in 2005 to win a Grand Slam title (the French Open). Alcaraz started playing tennis at the age of four. Carlos Alcaraz beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-3 in the U.S.

He battled 21-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner in a thrilling five-set quarter-final that did not finish until nearly 3 a.m. "It's remarkable to watch Alcaraz play this game, how he's elevated the tempo of this game along with Sinner and Tiafoe and other young guys," he said on Sunday. But while the rising stars command more and more of the spotlight and help attract a younger and more diverse fan base to the sport, it would be premature to say the landscape has shifted. On Sunday "Carlitos" avoided another punishing five-set match but still had to be at his athletic best to score a 6-4 2-6 7-6(1) 6-3 victory over 23-year-old Norwegian Ruud, who rises to number two in the world behind Alcaraz. Having earned his reputation as one of the fiercest competitors among a hungry group of young challengers to the 'Big Three', Alcaraz's win over Casper Ruud not only brought the 19-year-old Spaniard a first major title but also saw him become the youngest world number one in ATP history.

I’m enjoying have the trophy in my hands but of course, I’m hungry for more. Once again, Alcaraz trusted his serve and volley to fight back and force the tie-break. That third set loss, Ruud would say later, was the turning point of the match. Though he found the first break in the third set, Alcaraz still showed signs of rust. “I gave him the advice to go to the net on any ball that it was short. Ruud had also begun returning from way behind the baseline to deny Alcaraz easy serve and volley points. In the finals of the grand slam or any tournament. On Sunday night in front of a packed crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Alcaraz gave his 100% and then some to beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-3 in the US Open final to clinch his first Grand Slam title.

When his serve catches up to the other fully developed elements of his game, there may be no stopping him. “Since the moment that I started with him, I saw some things that were different than the other guys at his age.

He has exemplified each quality in his career so far, and it has only just begun. Alcaraz is his own player, following his own path, and the brand of tennis he plays is unique in its own right. In his fourth round match against Marin Cilic, he trailed by a break early in the fifth. The style he has built through the combination of his athleticism, high-octane shot-making, his seemingly endless skillset and his explosiveness around the court is unlike anything that we have ever seen, as is true of the legends before him. Should he improve his serve and learn how to consistently hit his spots, for example, the rest of the world is in trouble. The early stages of his rise had seemed so easy – he won big titles for fun, outperformed the likes of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, and the Spaniard flew up the rankings with a smile on his face.

Before matches I don’t have a specific routine, I do my warm up, where I always do the same, I try to always go to the same place with my team. I’m not special, and nobody said I was going to be the best, I’ve worked for it. 1 in the world, probably there will be tournaments in which there are expectations and I can’t meet them. I’ll always be proud when Rafa wins Grand Slams and obviously if I lose at a Grand Slam, I’ll always be supporting a Spaniard. For now, I’m going to think about trying to get the second, which very few people have managed, that’s my goal. In the match, I have some superstitions with towels, taking four balls, bouncing them five times, the bottles always neatly arranged, always drinking first from one, a bite of my energy bar always before the banana... You’ve said many times that your dream was to be the No. Do you stand by that statement or are you starting to think you do have something special? Winning a Grand Slam at 19 years of age and becoming the No. You have to work at things.

He also showed welcome and remarkable sportsmanship, calling a double bounce on himself in the second set that the chair umpire had missed, thereby awarding the point to Alcaraz, who clearly appreciated the gesture. But as champions do, he found a way, and as not all champions do, he did so by attacking when threatened rather than playing the waiting game. Nadal, Alcaraz’s fellow Spaniard, was 19, too, when he arrived at his first French Open in 2005 and ran the table against his elders without even being pushed to a fifth set. He had to save a match point against Jannik Sinner of Italy in the quarter finals. But no matter how clear the potential and how dynamic the game, you never truly know what a tennis player is capable of until they have to fight for the biggest points on the biggest occasions. On Sunday, Alcaraz became a grand slam champion by winning the men’s singles title at the US Open and, at 19, the youngest No.

In the scurrying situations created by Alcaraz through his now infamous drop shot, Ruud had the improvisational skills to keep Alcaraz second-guessing himself and making errors. For a majority of the second and third sets in the final, Ruud was the better player. It sees so much success thanks to Alcaraz’s commitment to the strategy, and his athleticism. If he fails to do so, he gives himself enough time to reset and chase down the ball on his side of the court. Ferrero began coaching the Spaniard when he was just 15, and after the US Open win, he highlighted areas his pupil can improve in, like his serve and backhand, so that he has the skills to win cheap points too, especially under pressure. He takes the ball as early as he can and pushes his opponent as far behind as he can, so that he has enough time to take up an aggressive position to put the point away. More often than not, the Spaniard will take balls that come in short into his backhand by going around the wing and hitting an inside-out forehand to his right-handed opponent’s backhand. The second is his tendency to get around his backhand. Not an inch of the court is out of his reach, and neither are near-perfect groundstrokes. The shot placement on his forehand is only succeeded by the shot’s destructive power, which is able to open up court positions for him to unleash winners. So many of the best aggressive baseliners of this generation live and die by their defence – counterpunching and continuously getting the ball back into play before yielding an error or finding the right opportunity to pull the trigger. Marin Cilic made 66 compared to 45 winners in the fourth round, and Frances Tiafoe 52 compared to 51 winners in the semifinal.
