Sachin Tendulkar, considered the God of Cricket, has showered praise on tennis’s new superstar, Carlos Alcaraz.

Sachin described Alcaraz’s victory in the Australian Open 2026 final against Novak Djokovic, which marked his first-ever title win at the tournament, as “a joy to watch.”
In the match played in Melbourne, Alcaraz displayed remarkable patience, intelligence, and exceptional fitness.
What did Sachin Tendulkar say?
Sachin Tendulkar took to social media platform X to highlight the key aspects of Alcaraz’s game. He praised Alcaraz’s composure and control during long rallies.
Sachin wrote in his post: “What stood out at the Australian Open was Carlos Alcaraz’s patience. In the longer rallies, he stayed composed, kept his opponent under pressure, and chose his moments smartly. And the way he covered the court, so quick and precise, was a joy to watch! Congratulations @carlosalcaraz! What a valiant effort from @DjokerNole as well,”
This statement clearly shows that Sachin was highly impressed with Alcaraz’s match temperament and his ability to read the game.
This match was not just a final, but a history-making moment. 22-year-old Carlos Alcaraz completed a career Grand Slam with this victory, becoming the youngest player to achieve this feat.
He achieved this milestone by defeating tennis legend and 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic.
Historic Win and a Shower of Records
In the final match, Alcaraz made a strong comeback after losing the first set. He won the match 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in three hours and two minutes. This was his first Australian Open title and also his first final in Melbourne.
With this win, Alcaraz became the sixth male player in the Open Era to complete a career Grand Slam. In the 21st century, only four players have achieved this feat, with Djokovic being the most recent to do so in 2016.
At just 22 years old, Alcaraz’s accomplishment places him directly among the greatest names in tennis.
