ALCARAZ EXITING MADRID AIRPORT 6. VARIOUS OF PEOPLE AT MADRID AIRPORT STORY: World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz arrived on Tuesday (February 3) at Madrid's airport after winning Australia Open. Alcaraz said he would go straight "home, where the heart is," in his hometown of El Palmar, in Southeastern Spain. Alcaraz became the youngest man to win all four Grand Slam tournaments, defeating Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 to win his first Australian Open in Melbourne on Sunday (February 1). The 38-year-old Djokovic, who counts 10 Australian Open titles among his 24 career major victories, lost for the first time in an Australian Open final. Ranked fourth in the world entering the tournament, he stunned World No. 2 Jannik Sinner in five sets in their semifinal match on Friday to reach his 11th final. Alcaraz, a 22-year-old Spaniard, now has seven Grand Slam wins, adding Sunday's trophy to the two he previously won at each of the other major events — Wimbledon, the French Open and the U.S. Open.
