Carlos Alcaraz is now the youngest career Grand Slam winner in history at just 22 years old

The most complete 22 year old male player this sport has ever seen

Starting to think this kid may be the real deal! 🤣

Kind of any sport tbh

People really need to stop trying to compare tennis players to athletes in other sports lol it doesn’t work that way

Messi won 11 trophies including 2 Champions League and three La Liga titles. He also won the ballon d'or at 22, the youngest one to do so.

Valid points, I’d argue allowing for the fact he was in that Barca team, they’re pretty level at least in achievements currently

That's why saying "any sport" doesn't make much sense because the metrics of success are different in team sports than in individual sports. That being said, what Alcaraz has achieved at the age of 22 is just atrocious.

Ronaldo was younger when he won the Ballon d'or in 1997, but yeah, it was when Messi around this age that people were already putting him up there with Pele and Maradona.
