Alcaraz has a 2-0 record in Grand Slam Finals, having won the US Open in 2022 and Wimbledon in 2023.

Carlos Alcaraz continues to make history! The world no. 3, who’d celebrated his 21st birthday just one month ago, has become the youngest player to reach the Grand Slam finals on all surfaces—clay, hard, and grass. Having made the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open in the last two years, Carlos Alcaraz finally made the final of the French Open, beating newly crowned world no. 1 Jannik in five sets.

The record was previously held by another all-time great, Andre Agassi, who was 22 when he reached the final of Wimbledon in 1992, having made the finals of the US Open and French Open earlier.

Youngest players to reach Grand Slam finals on all 3 surfaces

  • Carlos Alcaraz- 21 years 1 month
  • Andre Agassi – 22 years 1 month
  • Bjorn Borg – 22 years 2 months
  • Rafael Nadal – 22 years 6 months
  • Jim Courier – 22 years 10 months

Alcaraz eyes Nadal’s record next

Two years ago, the Spaniard had beaten Lleyton Hewitt’s record and became the youngest world no. 1 in Open Era history. If he wins the French Open 2024 title on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz have a chance to become the youngest player to win a career Grand Slam. Currently, his idol Rafael Nadal holds the record, having done so in 2010, when he won Wimbledon at the age of 24 years and 1 month.
