Carlos Alcaraz continues to make history! The world no. 3, who’d celebrated his 21st birthday just one month ago, has become the youngest player to reach the Grand Slam finals on all surfaces—clay, hard, and grass. Having made the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open in the last two years, Carlos Alcaraz finally made the final of the French Open, beating newly crowned world no. 1 Jannik in five sets.
The record was previously held by another all-time great, Andre Agassi, who was 22 when he reached the final of Wimbledon in 1992, having made the finals of the US Open and French Open earlier.
