With the title, Alcaraz became the youngest man to win Majors on all three surfaces. He is 3-0 in Grand Slam finals, and now 11-1 in fifth sets. That speaks to his ability not to resist pressure, necessarily, but to thrive in it. He is only 21, so early into what will hopefully be a very long career that the major narratives about who he is and what makes him special are still being compiled. That career will surely be defined by what he pulls out under extreme duress. There is no reason not to believe he's up for it.

goat oat


Dude can get the grand slam at 21 with a Aussie win in January. What's the youngest on that?


he'll certainly have the advantage of playing natural born losers his whole career


ho hum, another major. straight sets over djoker. *yawn*

championship day for españa


Djoker is obv the current goat but seems like kind of a dick so glad that tha FED gets to stay Grass goat


Back-to-back Wimbledon victories over Djokovic, 4 majors at age 21. Beast.


best right now, but not GOAT. might end up GOAT but with Sinner, could be some back and forth.


Very good, could well be, but come back when he's done half of what Djokovic has


Need about 10 years of greatness to be making a bid instead of just a big splash. There are lots of huge splashes in all the sports, just a few GOAT bids. Luv the guy. Hope he can sustain.



Bump for the future GOAT- 5 majors at age 22, standard.


Craziest match I have ever watched


He's good but a lot of beautiful women will throw themselves at him and a man only has so much self control against women and blow

Live odds at this point was Sinner -50000 apparently

This wasn't a prob for Djoker, Fed, Nadal?

But Alcaraz was only +6500

Books gonna juice


Novak is the GOAT. This opinion might change in the future, maybe after 10 years.


If anyone passing Novak it's gonna be Sinner. He's much closer to Alcaraz on grass/clay than Alcaraz is to him on hard court.


6 grand slams by age 22, not bad

This aged well.

Bump. After Sinner lost to Djokovic in the semis, Alcaraz beats Djokovic in the final to win his 7th major and complete the career grand slam at age 22.

He's now on pace for 77 slams.


Only time will tell, but so far so good for him.
