What records did Carlos Alcaraz make after winning his first-ever Wimbledon title?

Multiple records were set as a result of the outstanding play of the 20-year-old Spaniard. Here are some noteworthy accomplishments:

• Since Enzo Couacaud at the 2023 Australian Open, Alcaraz is the only player to defeat Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam tie-break. Djokovic had previously won 15 straight tie-breaks, which was the second-longest run during the Open era.
• Alcaraz is the only player to have defeated Djokovic in a five-set Grand Slam final. Andy Murray previously accomplished this feat at the 2012 US Open.
• Following in the footsteps of Manuel Santana (1966) and Rafael Nadal (2008, 2010), Alcaraz became the third Spanish male player to claim victory at Wimbledon.
• Alcaraz's age of 20 years and 72 days makes him the third-youngest Wimbledon champion in the men's division. The only individuals to secure the title at a younger age were Bjorn Borg (20 years and 27 days in 1976) and Boris Becker (17 years and 227 days in 1985, and 18 years and 226 days in 1986).
• Alcaraz stands as the first player since Pete Sampras in 1994 to defeat three Top-10 opponents en route to capturing the men's singles title at The Championships
• Alcaraz became the fourth Spanish male player to win multiple Grand Slam championships, joining Nadal, Santana, and Sergi Bruguera.
• Alcaraz became the fifth male player in the Open Era to secure multiple Grand Slam titles before turning 21. This achievement places him in esteemed company alongside Mats Wilander (4 titles), Bjorn Borg (3 titles), and Boris Becker and Rafael Nadal (both with 2 titles).

• The young Spanish player's success in 2023 continued as he became the eighth player in the Open era to claim both the titles at Queen's and Wimbledon in the same year. The last player to achieve this was Andy Murray in 2016.
• Alcaraz broke the dominance of the "Big Four" (Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and Federer) by becoming the first player outside this group to win the Wimbledon title in the past 21 years. The previous player to accomplish this was Lleyton Hewitt in 2002.
