Carlos Alcaraz becomes youngest man ever to win multiple Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces

With his triumph at Roland Garros last year as a 21-year-old, Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest man ever to win Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces—hard courts, clay and grass.

Now, he’s one-upped his own record.

With his triumph at the US Open today, where he defeated Jannik Sinner for the title, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, Alcaraz, now 22, has become the youngest man ever to win multiple Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces.

He’s battled his way to two career Wimbledon titles on grass (2023 and 2024), two career Roland Garros titles on clay (2024 and 2025) and now two career US Open titles on hard courts (2022 and 2025).

The Spaniard is the fourth man to win multiple Grand Slam titles on every surface, period, after Mats Wilander, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

And for those wondering, Roger Federer only won one major on clay.

MEN TO WIN MULTIPLE GRAND SLAM TITLES ON ALL THREE SURFACES (hard, clay and grass):

  • Mats Wilander: 2 on hard, 3 on clay, 2 on grass
  • Rafael Nadal: 6 on hard, 14 on clay, 2 on grass
  • Novak Djokovic: 14 on hard, 3 on clay, 7 on grass
  • Carlos Alcaraz: 2 on hard, 2 on clay, 2 on grass
Alcaraz won the first—and now, the sixth—Grand Slam title of his career on hard courts, at the US Open.

Alcaraz won the first—and now, the sixth—Grand Slam title of his career on hard courts, at the US Open.Wilander and Nadal both completed their sets of multiple major titles on every surface at age 24, with Wilander a slightly younger 24 when he did it at the US Open in 1988, his second major title on hard courts—Nadal did it at Wimbledon in 2010, his second major title on grass. Djokovic did it at age 34 at Roland Garros in 2021, his second major title on clay.

Hard courts started being used at Grand Slams in 1978, when the US Open switched to the surface. The Australian Open followed suit in 1988.

Djokovic is the only man in tennis history to win three or more major titles on every surface, completing that set at age 36, at Roland Garros in 2023.

No man has ever won four or more major titles on every surface.
