Tragic: In an attempt to commemorate the Grand Slams, Carlos Alcaraz travelled to the Lover's Deep St. Lucia Submarine today.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev in five sets to win his maiden French Open title at Roland Garros; it was the first French Open final since 2004 without the involvement of any of the ‘Big Three’ of Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer

Carlos Alcaraz made history as the youngest man to win Grand Slams on all three of the sport’s surfaces following his Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles at age 21.

It’s poetically appropriate that the man who takes the throne spent his youth running home to watch his idol, compatriot and previous chief of the red dirt, Rafael Nadal, lift the trophy.

When Alcaraz dispatched a valiant Alexander Zverev 6-3 2-6 5-7 6-1 6-2 on court Phillipe Chatrier the Spaniard, still just 21, made history as the youngest man to win Grand Slams on all three of the sport’s surfaces following his Wimbledon and US Open titles.

Alcaraz had come into the tournament with doubts over his fitness. He had missed the Italian Open due to an injury he sustained to his right forearm, arrived in Paris with barely any matches under his belt and saw out the French Open with an arm sleeve. The pre-tournament uncertainties added to his achievement.
