The world tennis already throbb the new era of Carlos Alcaraz. With just 22 years, the Spanish reached a historical record after beating Jannik Sinner in the US Open 2025 final, where the Spanish recovered the number 1 of the ATP ranking, and incidentally took a bag of 5 million dollars.
With the title in Flushing Meadows, the one born at the Palmar broke a record that neither Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic: This Sunday, Alcaraz became the first player in the story that conquers at least two Grand Slam titles in each of the three regulated surfaces (clay, grass and cement) before turning 23.
The feat was consumed after its coronation in the US Open (2022 y 2025). To that deed are added the titles obtained in Roland Garros (2024 y 2025) and in Wimbledon (2023 and 2024), which complete a trophy showcase that installs it fully in the debate of the great legends of tennis.
Until now, None of the greatest figures of ‘Big 3’ had reached such a record at such an early age. Nadal dominated clay, Federer on lawn and djokovic in cement, but None managed to multiply titles on all surfaces with as much youth as the Murcian.
With this impressive fact, no doubt that Spanish consolidates its image as a natural heir of hegemony that marked tennis in the last two decades. With a whole race ahead, it seems that Alcaraz has no roof.
