Carlos Alcaraz is gearing up for the 2025 Australian Open with enthusiasm, looking to make his mark on the season’s first Grand Slam.
After a strong 2024 season, highlighted by winning his first French Open and Wimbledon titles, the 21-year-old Spaniard has set his sights on claiming his maiden Australian Open trophy. Victory in Melbourne would also make Alcaraz the youngest man in history to complete the Career Grand Slam, a feat only achieved by five players in the Open Era.
Despite choosing not to participate in any pre-Australian Open tournaments, Alcaraz is preparing diligently. He plans to acclimatize to Melbourne’s conditions after spending the holiday season with his family. Alcaraz has lined up two exhibition matches before the tournament, where he’ll face Australian players Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin.
“It’s always exciting to play in Australia,” Alcaraz shared in a recent interview. “The fans, the atmosphere, and the challenge of playing at the highest level motivate me to bring my best game.”
