Carlos Alcaraz celebrated a moment of euphoria after defeating Novak Djokovic to retain his Wimbledon title on Sunday, complete with pumped fists and group hugs with his entourage.
An hour later, the young Spaniard refocused, stating his journey was only beginning. "I've seen and heard the statistics that I am the youngest to win at Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year," the 21-year-old said after his emphatic 6-2 6-2 7-6(4) victory over Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion.
"I try not to think about it too much. It's a great start to my career, but I have to keep building my path. At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys," Alcaraz shared.
Alcaraz is the youngest to complete the French Open-Wimbledon double in the professional era and matches legends like Roger Federer, Bjorn Borg, and Boris Becker by winning four Grand Slams before the age of 22. With rivals like Jannik Sinner, tennis's future shines bright.
