Entering this year\u2019s Australian Open<\/a>, the 22-year-old had one clear aim: to complete the Career Grand Slam. Having already triumphed on two occasions at Roland Garros<\/a>, Wimbledon<\/a> and the US Open<\/a>, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings was determined to complete the historic set in Melbourne. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz did not drop a set en route to the last four, before he rallied from 3-5 down in the fifth set against Alexander Zverev<\/a> to win the longest semi-final in tournament history (five hours, 27 minutes). Alcaraz then overcame 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic<\/a> in the final to lift his seventh major and first in Australia.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Alcaraz is next scheduled to play at the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, which starts on Monday 9 February.<\/p>\n
