The future of tennis arrived at 7:38 p.m. Sunday with a rocketed serve off the racket of Carlos Alcaraz, who clinched the U.S. Open men’s singles championship, announcing the start of a new era in the game.
Alcaraz, the 19-year-old Spanish sensation, beat Casper Ruud of Norway, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-3, to win his first Grand Slam singles title, but probably not his last.

Carlos Alcaraz era is here. On Sunday, he reached the sport’s pinnacle in grand fashion on its biggest stage, packing the nearly 24,000 fans in the stadium onto his bandwagon as he claimed not only the men’s singles championship and $2.6 million in prize money, but also the No. 1 ranking in the world, becoming the youngest man to do so.

He is the youngest man to win a Grand Slam title since Rafael Nadal won the 2005 French Open as a 19-year-old.

In 2021, the journey began in Australia, when he won his first Grand Slam match in front of a handful of fans on a court in Melbourne Park’s outer reaches.
At that time, he was ranked outside the top one hundred.

His first professional title came last summer in Croatia, and a month later he was part of the adolescent wave that swept the United States, playing his way into the quarterfinals in New York.

The two Masters tournaments he won this spring were in Miami Gardens, Florida, and Madrid. These tournaments are a tier below the Grand Slams. Many of the veterans who faced him for the first time departed the court shaking their heads, their eyes glazed over, and at a loss for words after losing to him.

During the presentation of the trophy, Alcaraz, who is not too far removed from his youth, said, “This is something I have dreamed of since I was a kid.”
This came after both Alcaraz and Ruud, in their tennis highs and lows, acknowledged the gravity of the 21st anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
