At 22 years old, Alcaraz now has 7 major titles. If he wins 2 per year, he would catch Novak within the next 10 years for most all time.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Carlos Alcaraz is the youngest man ever to complete a career Grand Slam after securing the Australian Open title against Novak Djokovic, who had never lost in his 10 previous finals at Melbourne Park.
Alcaraz, at 22 years, 272 days old, showed no ill effects of the severe cramping that nearly derailed his 5-hour epic semifinal win against third-seed Alexander Zverev just 48 hours earlier, as he outhustled and overwhelmed the 24-time Grand Slam champion to prevail 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 3 hours, 2 minutes.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
