At just 22 years old, the Spaniard has already won twice at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and Flushing Meadows. Now, only one major remains unchecked on his list \u2014 the Australian Open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s my first goal, to be honest,\u201d Alcaraz admitted. \u201cWhen I go into preseason, when I look at what I want to improve, what I want to achieve, the Australian Open is always there.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"qme\">\ud83d\ude18\ud83c\udfc6\u270c\ud83c\udffb1\ufe0f\u20e3 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yX2bSB2nuz\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/yX2bSB2nuz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Carlos Alcaraz (@carlosalcaraz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/carlosalcaraz\/status\/1964830991677333558?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the first or second tournament of the year, and it is always the main goal for me \u2014 to complete a Career Grand Slam, even a Calendar Grand Slam. So it&#8217;s going to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz\u2019s triumph at Flushing Meadows was doubly rewarding. Not only did he lift the trophy, but by overcoming Sinner \u2014 who had taken the top spot earlier this year \u2014 he also reclaimed World No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings. It marks his first return to the summit since September 2023.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SJfDyNw9AUk?si=nUIdKWFkGCZJD-uY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I got the chance to recover the No. 1, it was one of my biggest goals this season,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo try to recover it as soon as possible, or end the year there. Achieving that again, on the same day I won another Slam, feels even better. It&#8217;s everything I\u2019ve been working for, and I\u2019m really happy to live these experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz wrote another chapter to his tennis legacy on Sunday, capturing his second US Open crown and sixth Grand Slam overall with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":495349,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[16732,17625,4051],"news_category":[16714,16715,14084],"gn_keywords":[17857,18543,1891],"acf":{"news_source":"","link_picture":"","announce":"The Spaniard has won each of the major tournaments twice, except Australian Open","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495348"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495348"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":495352,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/495348\/revisions\/495352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495348"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=495348"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=495348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
