Carlos Alcaraz has just made history by winning the men's singles at the Australian Open.

The 22-year-old player has become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam.

This is when someone wins all four of the major tennis tournaments - the French Open, US Open, Wimbledon and the Australian Open.

The world number one player beat 24-time grand slam champion, Novak Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.

Djokovic was also hoping for a historic victory - as he tried to set a new stand alone record of 25 major singles titles.

He became the youngest number one in the history of the ATP Rankings at the age of 19 years and 130 days.

Now, Carlos has won seven grand slams tournaments in total.
