"I can't think of any other superlatives about him. He deserves every bit of the praise that he gets from his peers, but also the whole tennis community. He's a very nice, young man. Good values, nice family. Of course, already a legendary tennis player that made already a huge mark in the history books of tennis with only 22 years of age. It's super impressive, no doubt about it."
"He played a mature match against Djokovic, the fourth seed, maintaining his composure after a blistering opening set from the Serbian to win in four sets."
"This tournament was Alcaraz's first since deciding to split with Juan Carlos Ferrero and install Samuel Lopez, formerly Ferrero's deputy, as his head coach."
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in the Australian Open final to complete the career Grand Slam and become the youngest male player ever to do so. Alcaraz, aged 22, is also the youngest man in the Open Era to reach seven major titles. Djokovic had entered seeking to become the oldest Grand Slam champion and reached the final after a five-set victory over Jannik Sinner. Djokovic praised Alcaraz's career, character and family. Alcaraz made a coaching change before the tournament, replacing Juan Carlos Ferrero with Samuel Lopez, and said he focused on his game and his team.
