The Spanish 21-year-old needed more than four hours to secure his third grand slam title
Alcaraz, 21, became the youngest man to win a slam on each of the sport’s three surfaces, breaking Rafael Nadal’s record by more than a year, and will return to world No 2 on Monday by virtue of the result, displacing Novak Djokovic.
He immediately changed his racket, but he could not prevent the two-point head-start allowing Alcaraz to break serve in the very first game of the match. He added a third to seal a set that lacked quality: Zverev hit just three winners and looked frustrated by both Alcaraz’s variety of spins and on-court conditions that were only getting tougher.
