Carlos Alcaraz has made history. The 19-year-old phenom won the US Open, defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3, and will become the youngest player ever to rise to No. 1 in the ATP rankings.
And it doesn’t end there for Alcaraz. He’s the youngest man to reach a Grand Slam final since Rafael Nadal in 2005, and the youngest to reach the US Open men’s singles final since Pete Sampras in 1990. Coincidentally, Nadal and Sampras won Grand Slam titles at age 19.
Alcaraz, who won four titles this year is part of a new generation of stars emerging as the Big Three's time comes to a close. That’s what this US Open, and this final, was all about. Alcaraz cemented his status as the most creative, exciting player on the men’s tour. Ruud emerged as a major threat having made two Grand Slam finals this year. Frances Tiafoe showed he has what it takes to compete with the game’s top players.
For Alcaraz, it all came together at the US Open. The disappointing losses from the French Open, where he was beaten by Zverev in the quarterfinals, and Wimbledon, where Sinner beat him in the fourth round, were just memories, a learning experience that helped him get to where he is. As a clay specialist, he was expected to run the table at Roland Garros, but his early exit seeded doubt.
But no matter what anyone thinks or expects of Alcaraz, he's the only one in charge of his story. He creates his own narrative. And in the story Alcaraz wrote, he didn’t win his first major late. He won it right on time. And it feels like there are a lot more to come.
