'Sincaraz' rivalry lights up men's game

Career grand slam

With six Grand Slam titles under his belt to Sinner's four, Alcaraz will look to eclipse Nadal and become the youngest man to complete the set by winning every major when he heads Down Under in the New Year.

Melbourne provided the biggest surprise in the women's game, as Madison Keys dethroned Aryna Sabalenka to win her first Grand Slam title at 29, the American becoming the fourth-oldest first-time major champion in the professional era, which began in 1968.

Coco Gauff hoisted the French Open trophy, beating Sabalenka in the final to give American fans another reason to celebrate, but Amanda Anisimova endured a brutal reality check in the Wimbledon final, where Iga Swiatek triumphed without dropping a game.
