The Spaniard triumphed at the 2022 US Open on Sunday, beating Casper Ruud in four sets in an extraordinary final to become the first teenager since Rafael Nadal in 2005 to win a Major.

"Congratulations, Carlos Alcaraz, for your first Grand Slam. Amazing performance," Djokovic tweeted. Ana@_anatc0Djokovic congratulating both Alcaraz and Rudd on their US Open achievements.

I don't wanna compare myself to them, but I wanna be like them," Alcaraz said. "There are a lot of things to improve. Nadal, Djokovic and Federer improved a lot of things over the years.
