Carlos Alcaraz has already recorded a legendary career in professional tennis by the age of 23.
The Spaniard has captured a total of 26 ATP Tour-level titles; seven of which are Grand Slams, as many as John McEnroe.
Is men’s tennis boring without Carlos Alcaraz?
Alcaraz’s most recent major trophy was clinched at the Australian Open, where he also completed the Career Grand Slam.
He became the sixth player in the Open Era to win each of the four majors at least once, joining Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
But Alcaraz is now on track to surpass three of those greats with a historic feat.
Carlos Alcaraz on track to complete Career Grand Slam twice
Should Alcaraz win the 2027 Australian Open, he will become just the third man in history to complete the Career Grand Slam twice.
The only two players to have ever managed the feat are Nadal and Djokovic, who did so in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Would Rafael Nadal be the undisputed GOAT if not for injuries?
Alcaraz won his first Grand Slam at the 2022 US Open, and secured his second at Wimbledon 2023.
He added the French Open title to his collection in 2024, as well as another Wimbledon crown that year.
After going back-to-back at Roland Garros and winning the US Open in 2025 before completing the set in Melbourne earlier this season, Alcaraz is now one title away from joining the exclusive club.
Jannik Sinner still one title away from Career Grand Slam
Alcaraz’s rival, Jannik Sinner, is also one title away from completing the Career Grand Slam.
Sinner now has two Wimbledon championships, two Australian Opens and a sole US Open title.
Just Roland Garros remains for the Italian, who came agonisingly close to capturing the crown in Paris a year ago.
Sinner had three match points in the thrilling 2025 French Open final against Alcaraz, but failed to capitalise on the golden opportunity.
This year, he crashed out in the second round after losing to Juan Manuel Cerundolo while dealing with physical issues.
