PREVIEW

Alcaraz Beats Djokovic in Melbourne to Complete Career Grand Slam. Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final, becoming the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. The 22-year-old Spaniard sealed a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 win in Melbourne, collapsing to the court as he secured the final major title missing from his résumé. Djokovic, chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title, crossed the net to congratulate Alcaraz, acknowledging a historic moment for the sport. After the match, the 38-year-old Serb cast doubt on his future appearances in Melbourne, hinting the final could mark the end of an era. Alcaraz recovered after a slow start, finding his rhythm from the baseline and outlasting the fourth seed with superior physicality and consistency. The victory made Alcaraz only the ninth man to win all four majors — Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open — and the first since Djokovic in 2016. Djokovic remains tied with Margaret Court on 24 Grand Slam singles titles, with his wait to stand alone continuing. Alongside Italy’s Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz has now dominated the men’s game, with the pair winning the last nine major titles.
