Carlos Alcaraz vence a Djokovic y se convierte en el hombre más joven en completar un Grand Slam – Chicago Tribune

By JOHN PYE

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz is the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam to secure the Australian tournament title against Novak Djokovic, who has never lost in his previous finals at Melbourne Park.

World number one Alcaraz allowed the first man to place the domingo between Djokovic in the midst of a battle with a record 25 major titles, but he recovered to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.

The 22-year-old Spaniard struggled to win back shots that were normally Djokovic’s keepers, and put intense pressure on his 38-year-old rival.

Once he secured the victory, Alcaraz already turned his racket and went to the suelo des espaldas, lifting his hands to his head.

He was permanent for a second before going into the red to stretch Djokovic’s hand. Players exchange a few words and Djokovic happily rings Alcaraz. The new camp then worked on his coaches in the chairs with the chair and later on his father and other team members in the ranks.

Many players came out for five-set semi-final victories and showed top-level physicality, athleticism and toughness for just over three hours watching their own historic logros.

One of the two players is in conflict with the important points, and there are many. In the final, Alcaraz was able to convert 5 of the 16 break points generated. Djokovic converted to him.

Djokovic’s intention for an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam individual title has now been blocked by Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner in new important tournaments.

Djokovic was named Sinner in the semi-finals and aspired to be the mayor’s man to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era, but he failed to register it against Alcaraz.

For 22 years and 272 days, Alcaraz has been the youngest man and completes a set of four main titles in individuals. He broke the mark established by Don Budge in the French campeonato of 1938, for 22 years and 363 days.

Alcaraz now has important titles: his first in Australia with two at Wimbledon and in the French and United States Opens.
