He handled those difficulties the right way, focusing on his work with his team and on this ultimate goal. Becoming the youngest man to win seven grand slam titles – and the career grand slam – is the deserved payoff. It is so typical of his prodigious talent and toughness that, in his first tournament since promoting Samuel López as his main coach, he departed with this career-defining achievement.

While Juan Carlos ferrero will always be a key figure in Alcaraz’s growth, this victory is validation of the decision. Alcaraz is still so young, but he is also maturing. He has shown he is capable of taking more obligation and making challenging decisions with his team.

despite how Jannik Sinner stumbled, his loss to Djokovic in the semi-final being his poorest result in a major since defeat by daniil Medvedev at Wimbledon in 2023, the ATP remains a duopoly. He and alcaraz will face each other in finals for the foreseeable future and alcaraz will certainly lose to Sinner. However, this tournament underlined why the spaniard is on his own unique path and is ahead of all the others since the end of the big three era.

Alcaraz has been on an unprecedented trajectory
