Alcaraz beats Djokovic to become youngest man to complete career Grand Slam

Carlos Alcaraz won a pulsating Australian Open final to become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam - ending Novak Djokovic's latest attempt to land a 25th major title in the process.

Alcaraz, 22, immediately collapsed on the court in celebration after clinching a 2-6 6-2 6-3 7-5 victory in Melbourne.

The Spanish world number one struggled in the opening exchanges as 38-year-old Djokovic used his nous to dominate his younger opponent.

But Alcaraz found more rhythm from the baseline and outlasted the Serb fourth seed to claim his seventh major title.

Alcaraz is only the ninth man to secure a clean sweep of the four Grand Slam tournaments - the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
