Alcaraz is still ahead

[Voleathoney97]

Roger Federer won his first Grand Slam title at the age of 21 years and 3 months. He achieved this feat by winning Wimbledon in 2003.

Rafael Nadal won his first Grand Slam title at the age of 19 years and 2 months. He won the French Open in 2005.

Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title at the age of 20 years and 9 months. He won the Australian Open in 2008.

Carlos Alcaraz at 19 years, 4 months, and 6 days

Age wise yes Carlos a little ahead of Novak as both finished age 20 with 1 slam, Carlos could add 1 more before turning 21 but he has long way to go, Sinner has the remedy against him.

These things literally don't matter as it's about what they end up with. But on the other hand Alcaraz has shown so much promise I refuse to believe he won't add another slam soon enough once he makes a few tweaks

Alcaraz will never catch Fed let alone djoker

Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title at the age of 20 years and 9 months. He won the Australian Open in 2008.

Carlos Alcaraz at 19 years, 4 months, and 6 days

Federer was 21 years, 10 months, and 28 days.

Nadal was 19 years and 2 days, not 2 months.

So, Alcaraz was indeed ahead of Federer and Djokovic for age at first slam, but not ahead of Nadal. He was narrowly behind Nadal.

Nadal won his second slam at 20 years and 8 days. If Alcaraz had won this event, he would have more or less kept pace with Nadal at time of second slam: about a month behind, but that's partly the vagaries of the tour calendar, as it would be for both of them the first slam after turning 20 and not much time in between. As it is, Alcaraz will be slightly behind Nadal for age of second slam, too.

Of course, Alcaraz has a long time in which to pick up his second slam title to stay ahead of Federer (22 years and 5 months when he won AO 2004) or Djokovic (23 year and 8 months when he won AO 2011).

This aged well. I love the Charlie backhand these days and his resilience to heavy hitting.

Chang GOAT then.

Oh my God Carlos went from being Chang to Hewitt to whatever he is now. Interesting.

They did not see his great sporting growth in recent months.
