pOnly two of those players claimed a Slam on their third surface before turning 26. Nadal did so aged 22 when he won the 2009 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/australian-open/580/overview'Australian Open/a, and Wilander was 23 when he triumphed at the 1988 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/australian-open/580/overview'Australian Open/a./p

pAlcaraz had already become the youngest man to reach a major final on all three surfaces. He has made three championship matches at Grand Slam tournaments mdash; the 2022 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/us-open/560/overview'US Open/a, 2023 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/wimbledon/540/overview'Wimbledon/a and 2024 a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/roland-garros/520/overview'Roland Garros/a mdash; and has won them all./p

pThe Spaniard became the second-youngest a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/roland-garros/520/overview'Roland Garros/a champion since 2000, only trailing Nadal, who has lifted the Coupe des Mousquetaires 14 times./p

pAlcaraz is one of seven men who have won their first three major finals. Federer was victorious on his first seven attempts and a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/bjorn-borg/b058/overview'Bjorn Borg/a, a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/jimmy-connors/c044/overview'Jimmy Connors/a, a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/stefan-edberg/e004/overview'Stefan Edberg/a, a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/gustavo-kuerten/k293/overview'Gustavo Kuerten/a and a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/players/stan-wawrinka/w367/overview'Stan Wawrinka/a all triumphed in their first three Slam championship clashes./p
