Overview
- After dropping the first set 2–6, Alcaraz won 6–2, 6–3, 7–5 in 3h02 to secure his first Melbourne crown.
- At 22, he became the youngest to complete the career Grand Slam and moved to seven majors overall.
- Djokovic, 38, missed a 25th Slam that would have broken the all-time record but said he believes he can still win more.
- Rafael Nadal watched from the stands and was saluted by both finalists during the trophy ceremony.
- The A$4.15m winner’s check lifted Alcaraz’s career prize money to about US$62.9m, and his ATP lead widened to 13,650 points over Jannik Sinner’s 10,300 with Djokovic up to No. 3.
