Alcaraz’s Exemplary Final Performance

Young 19 years old Carlos Alcaraz became the first-ever youngest tennis player to have obtained the World’s Number One title. He marked his triumph even at Flushing Meadows last year in 2022. There he was named the third Masters 1000  and joined his fellow countryman Rafael Nadal as the only player to win at least three titles as a teenager. While Nadal won six before turning 20.

He was unbeatable on Stadium Court as he dominated the "wall" of Medvedev's terrifying defences. However, Medvedev came across titles in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai, but as Alcaraz made himself a winner from all over the court, hence gave him no chance. Alcaraz expressed his joy to win this tournament in the toughest of conditions in the match.
