Answer: 22

This is a truly remarkable feat. The previous record was held by Don Budge and had stood since 1938. By comparison, these were the ages of The Big Three when they had managed to win all four Grand Slam tournaments:

Nadal - 24
Federer - 27
Djokovic - 29

Answer: September 2022

After winning his first Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2022, he became the youngest player to be ranked World Number 1, at age 19. He beat the Norwegian Casper Ruud in the final.

Answer: Madrid

Carlos was ranked #9 at the time, and beat Rafa in the quarterfinals and Novak in the semis. He then went on to win against Alexander Zverev (then ranked #3) in the final, 6-3, 6-1. A pretty good week at the office.

Answer: 3

Sinner had taken the first two sets, and had three match points at 3-5 0-40 in the fourth set, which Carlos saved and went on to win 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2). This was only the third time in the Open Era that a Grand Slam final had been won after saving championship points. Alcaraz also became the ninth player to come from two sets down to win a major final.

Answer: Real Madrid

He is a passionate Madridista and has attended several of the team's matches and celebrates their victories on social media. The feeling is mutual, as his achievements are also celebrated by the club, and he has received personalized Real Madrid jerseys after some of his Grand Slam successes. Real Madrid players have also attended Carlos' matches at the Madrid Masters.

Answer: Roger Federer

Federer won his first seven major finals (from Wimbledon 2003 to Australian Open 2006) before his first loss came at Roland Garros in 2006.

Carlos' first five finals were:

US Open 2022, where he defeated Casper Ruud
Wimbledon 2023, where he defeated Novak Djokovic
French Open 2024, where he defeated Alexander Zverev
Wimbledon 2024, where he defeated Novak Djokovic
French Open 2025, where he defeated Jannik Sinner

Answer: The first and fourth

Carlos won this thrilling match in five sets. He lost the first one 1-6 before taking home the second and third 7-6, 6-1. Novak took the fourth 6-3 before Carlos won 6-4 in the fifth. The match took 4 hours and 42 minutes and is the third longest Wimbledon final in history. They met again in the 2024 final and that time Carlos only needed three sets to beat Novak.

Answer: No

Sadly, Federer retired from professional tennis in September 2022 before they had a chance to play each other. It would surely have been something special.

Answer: Juan Carlos Ferrero

The former world number 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero had worked with Alcaraz for seven years and they had an incredibly successful partnership, winning 24 titles, including six majors.

Answer: Quarterfinals

There was much hype around the 'Nadalcaraz' dream team, but sadly, they didn't make it past the quarters where they lost to doubles specialists Krajicek and Ram. In the singles tournament Carlos won the silver medal.

Answer: True

His win at the 2026 Australian Open was the third time he had beaten Novak, having previously won twice at Wimbledon. The first three players to manage multiple wins against the Serb at the final stage of the Grand Slams were Andy Murray (2), Stan Wawrinka (2) and Rafa Nadal (5).

Answer: Wimbledon

After winning his first five Grand Slam finals, his first loss came at Wimbledon 2025, where he was defeated by Jannik Sinner in four sets: 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. This was the second time Alcaraz and Sinner met in a major final in 2025, having previously played that epic five setter at Roland Garros which Carlos won.

Their third encounter came at the US Open where Carlos beat Jannik in four sets to secure his sixth Grand Slam title.

Answer: calor

Calor means heat, but cabeza (head/intelligence), corazón (heart/passion) and cojones (balls/courage) are the three words that are part of his on-court mentality and have helped him to many successes.
