Alcaraz’ teenage triumph puts him among some of the greatest players tennis has ever seen, with practically all of the youngest Grand Slam champions in the Open Era going on to have long and successful careers.
Interestingly, the youngest of them all, Michael Chang, who came out of nowhere to win the French Open in 1989, is the only one on the list never to win another Grand Slam title.
Chang reached three more Grand Slam finals, but lost all of them.
