Australian Open: Alcaraz vs. Djokovic Promises Historic Final Regardless of Winner
The upcoming final of the Australian Open features a historic showdown between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. This match, set to occur at 3:30 AM on Sunday, is anticipated to break several longstanding records, regardless of the winner.
Key Records at Stake
Sunday’s match will see Djokovic aiming to achieve remarkable milestones. He has the chance to become the first player in tennis history to secure 25 Grand Slam titles. Currently, he is tied with Margaret Court, who holds 24 titles. However, it is important to note that some of her victories occurred before the Open era, which began in 1968.
- If Djokovic wins, he will become the oldest Grand Slam champion in the Open era at 38 years and 255 days, surpassing Ken Rosewall’s record set in 1972.
- A victory would also mark an 18-year gap between his first and last Grand Slam titles, a record since the Open era began.
- Djokovic could earn his 11th title at the Australian Open, matching Margaret Court’s record at this tournament.
Alcaraz: The Rising Star
On the other side of the net, 22-year-old Carlos Alcaraz is poised to make history. If he wins, he will become the youngest player ever to claim all four Grand Slam titles. The previous record was set by Don Budge in 1938 when he was 22 years and 363 days old.
- A win would also make Alcaraz the youngest player in the Open era to achieve seven Grand Slam titles, surpassing Björn Borg, who was 23 years old when he won his seventh.
- If the match goes to five sets and Alcaraz comes out on top, he will set a new record for the most consecutive five-set match victories at 13.
