Carlos Alcaraz staring at Grand Slam final frontier in Melbourne

The Hindu  

There is little doubt Carlos Alcaraz is one of the brightest stars of his generation with Grand Slam success on all three surfaces but the Spaniard will arrive at the Australian Open looking to conquer the final frontier of his young career. Should he lift the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup at Melbourne Park later this month, the 21-year-old French Open and Wimbledon champion will become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam - the feat of winning all four major titles. “The goal is to complete the Grand Slam in Melbourne.” For all his bullishness before the first Grand Slam of the New Year, Alcaraz will be aware he was somewhat overshadowed by Jannik Sinner in 2024, with the Italian enjoying a near-perfect season that included the Australian Open and U.S. Open titles. This year, I’ve played great tournaments and really bad tournaments,” said Alcaraz, who responded to his critics by winning the China Open, beating Sinner in the final.
