Will Alcaraz or Sinner complete Career Grand Slam first?

When Jannik Sinner won the Wimbledon title Sunday with a four-set victory against two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, the Italian added another wrinkle to their Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry.

Both superstars are now only one major title from completing the Career Grand Slam. Sinner is only missing a Roland Garros trophy and Alcaraz needs an Australian Open crown.

Only five men in the Open Era have achieved the feat: Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Nadal was the youngest, doing so at the 2010 US Open aged 24.

Men Who Have Completed Career Grand Slam (Open Era)

Player	Tournament Completed	Age
Rod Laver	1969 US Open	31*
Andre Agassi	1999 Roland Garros	29
Roger Federer	2009 Roland Garros	27
Rafael Nadal	2010 US Open	24
Novak Djokovic	2016 Roland Garros	29

If Alcaraz, currently 22, wins one of the next two editions of the Australian Open, he will own all four Grand Slam trophies at a younger age than any other man in the Open Era. If Sinner triumphs at Roland Garros next year, he will be 24, but older than Nadal was when the Spaniard completed his Career Grand Slam.

Sinner held three championship points in the Roland Garros final against Alcaraz before falling short in a memorable five-set classic. Had he claimed the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the Italian would have been halfway to winning all four majors in the same season. Laver is the only man in the Open Era to do that, having swept the quartet of titles in 1969.

Sinner and Alcaraz have won the past seven major trophies dating back to the 2024 Australian Open. If one of them triumphs at the US Open, it will be the first time two men have claimed all four Slams in two consecutive calendar years since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2006 and 2007. Federer and Nadal are the only duo to accomplish the feat in the Open Era.
