People will never forget this day - Tennis fans lavish praise on Carlos Alcaraz for lifting maiden Grand Slam trophy at US Open 2022
By Shyam Kamal Modified 12 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Carlos Alcaraz defeated Casper Ruud to win his maiden Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open Carlos Alcaraz continued his unbelievable form in 2022, winning the maiden Grand Slam title of his career at the US Open. Taking on Casper Ruud in the final, the teenager needed only four sets to outpower the Norwegian 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3. With the victory, the Spaniard earned himself the World No. 1 spot, the youngest ever in ATP history to achieve the feat. He also became only the second teenager in history to win the US Open, with American legend Pete Sampras being the first. Tennis fans on social media were quick to shower praise on the soon-to-be World No. 1, remarking that this day will go down in history as the beginning of the Alcaraz era and that fans will remember it for years to come. One fan wrote on the same: "I think Carlos Alcaraz is going to be such a huge star in tennis that people will never forget this day, the day he won his first Major." Scott Seiver@scott_seiverI think Alcaraz is going to be such a huge star in tennis that people will never forget this day, the day he won his first major.493I think Alcaraz is going to be such a huge star in tennis that people will never forget this day, the day he won his first major. Another fan pointed out that this should come as no surprise to anybody, commenting that anyone who has followed the teenager's career trajectory would have known that he was destined for much bigger things. "When you beat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic on consecutive days in 3-setters the way Alcaraz did in Madrid, and then crush Zverev in the final, that should have been an indication that this was something much more than an interesting young player riding a little wave. MUCH MORE."
