Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic to win his first Australian Open title on Sunday.

With this, he became the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam. On the other hand, Serbian player Djokovic's dream of winning a record 25th Grand Slam remained unfulfilled.

Overcoming a slow start, the Spaniard defeated his 38-year-old opponent 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 and 7-5. With this success at Rod Laver Arena, the number of Grand Slams he has won has reached seven and he is also the undisputed number 1 player in world tennis. He is also the youngest player in modern tennis to win all four Grand Slams.

Previously, he had won Wimbledon, the French Open and the US Open twice each. Alcaraz, who was just 22 years old, surpassed his compatriot Rafael Nadal to become the youngest player to win all four Grand Slams. Nadal achieved a similar feat at the age of 24.

With seven Grand Slams, he has tied John McEnroe and Mats Wilander for the most titles. He is one title behind Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl's record of eight Grand Slams. After the match, he said, "It's a great achievement to come to Melbourne every year. I have fulfilled my responsibility, winning all four Grand Slams."

He added, "I also want to thank everyone. Everyone has supported me in difficult times." He also praised Djokovic openly, saying, "Everyone can talk about what I have achieved now. But what Djokovic is doing now should be an inspiration to everyone." This should be an inspiration not only for tennis players, but for players in all sports.'

Djokovic said this is the first time he has lost in the final in Melbourne. He has reached the final 10 times before, winning all of them. He still has to wait to win the milestone 25th Grand Slam title, surpassing Australia's Margaret Court. If Djokovic wins the title this time too, he would also be the oldest player to win a Grand Slam. He has not been able to achieve further success since winning the 2023 US Open.
