Carlos Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev in the 2024 Wimbledon semifinal. And based on how their head-to-head clashes have gone in the past, the outcome marks a significant landmark for the 21-year-old star.

Alcaraz and Medvedev played on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England. The venue is the home of the most prestigious and renowned sports outings -- The Championships. After dropping the first set in a forgettable tiebreak, the Spanish tennis sensation roared back, earning a convincing 6-7(1), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory.

Somehow, Alcaraz followed his incredible performance against Medvedev with a masterclass effort in the final versus perennial top-two ATP-ranked Novak Djokovic. He dismantled the Serbian in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4), clinching his second Wimbledon trophy.

How many career Grand Slam titles has Carlos Alcaraz won? 

The latest conquest over Djoker gives Alcaraz four. What makes this even more impressive is that Alcaraz has yet to lose a Grand Slam Final:

Alcaraz has climbed the highest mountain top of a Grand Slam four times despite only turning pro in 2018. He won his maiden championship at the 2022 US Open and is the consecutive titleholder of Wimbledon (2023 and 2024).

Before beating Djokovic for a second time in a row at The Championships, Alcaraz's most recent triumph came at the 2024 French Open. Following three closely contested sets, Alexander Zverev held a 2-1 lead over him at Stade Roland Garros in their French Open final meeting. From that point on, the Spain native dominated the match, winning 6-1, 6-2 to earn the championship.

At this current pace, we could see him catch up to Djokovic for the most major men's singles titles (24).

What is the farthest Carlos Alcaraz has gone at Wimbledon?

Alcaraz has gradually worked his way up the ladder at Wimbledon since first participating in the competition in 2021:

After being eliminated by Medvedev in the second round of his inaugural tournament run at SW19, he reached the fourth round in 2022. Then, last year, the Spaniard achieved victor status over Djokovic en route to retaining his World No. 1 rank (at the time). He's now accomplished the feat twice, overpowering the 37-year-old again to maintain his spot on the Wimbledon throne.

At such a young age, Alcaraz has already proven he can contend for a crown on any surface, thanks to his marked improvement on grass. 

Considering the historically massive amount of prize money, the stakes were never higher at this year's rendition of the iconic grass tennis showcase. Not only did Alcaraz thrive under pressure to secure his status as the two-time reigning Wimbledon champion, but he took home a lot of loot. 

Up next among major tournaments on the calendar is the pinnacle of the North American hardcourt season on the horizon -- the US Open. Alcaraz has fared well in this event, including a title, and will look to add another to his collection.

Despite his success at Grand Slams, Alcaraz has yet to prevail at the Australian Open, where he's never made it past the quarterfinal. So, overcoming that obstacle could be his next momentous milestone.
