It's somehow difficult to get one's head around the Big Three who have 63 Grand Slams between them are being replaced at World no. 1 with a 19 year old who has just won his first. That said, he is younger than any of those three when they did so and that in itself is an achievement.
Alcaraz is going to be a force for years to come. Tough to say anyone will get to 20+ slams but he's got the best chance at it of anyone that's emerged since Roger/Rafa/Novax.

Winner will become the new world number 1.
I think even now he's better than Ruud, but he's had the longer matches... Will be interesting.
Glad they've both made it, having a match for a maiden GS & World number 1 is class.
Firmly cements herself as the best female player in the world.
On serve at 5-5 in the third set.
One set away from his first major title. Ruud must be kicking himself for letting that slip.
Hope Ruud gets the 4th, a close 5th set would be perfect.
