Carlos Alcaraz has already won six Grand Slam titles at just 22 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alcaraz won both the US Open<\/a> and Roland Garros<\/a> this year, pitting himself alongside Boris Becker<\/a> and Stefan Edberg.<\/p>\n

As a result of his huge success achieved at such a young age already, Alcaraz has been predicted to win more than 20 Grand Slams<\/a> in his career.<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic currently holds the most major titles<\/a>, and Alcaraz<\/a> has now revealed if he is looking to overtake the Serbian.<\/p>\n

Djokovic made history at the 2023 US Open<\/a>, winning a 24th Grand Slam title to extend his lead as the player with the most men\u2019s singles titles.<\/p>\n

The two players closest to him in terms of that record, Rafael Nadal<\/a> and Roger Federer, are now both retired<\/a> and Alcaraz is now the active player who is closest to that record. <\/p>\n\nActive Grand Slam Champions<\/strong><\/td>\nGrand Slam Titles Won<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nStan Wawrinka<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDaniil Medvedev<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMarin Cilic<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Despite still being 18 Grand Slam victories away from reaching Djokovic<\/a>, Alcaraz continues to be asked about what he can achieve and that was no different in his pre-tournament press conference<\/a> ahead of the Japan Open.<\/p>\n

When speaking about his career goals, Alcaraz claimed that he is not yet thinking about getting to the numbers of players like Djokovic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou often ask me what my goal is as a tennis player, and I always say that I\u2019d like to sit at the same table as the great legends of the sport, but it\u2019s not something I\u2019m thinking about right now,\u201d said Alcaraz. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019ve achieved important things so far, but I don\u2019t take anything for granted, and it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess what will happen from here on out. I\u2019m not thinking about Djokovic\u2019s 24 Grand Slams or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

How many Grand Slams did Novak Djokovic win before turning 23 years old?<\/p>\n

Although Alcaraz appears some way from Djokovic right now, he is currently tracking at a better rate than the Serbian at the same age.<\/p>\n

Before Djokovic celebrated his 23rd birthday, he had won just the one Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He had also never been world number one at this stage, something Djokovic achieved for the first time at 24 years old.<\/p>\n\n\nNovak Djokovic before turning 23<\/strong><\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz before turning 23<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nHighest Ranking<\/td>\nNo.2<\/td>\nNo.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNumber of titles won<\/td>\n17<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGrand Slam titles won<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Despite claiming that he is not looking at Djokovic\u2019s record just yet, Alcaraz will be eyeing up the Australian Open next year.<\/p>\n

The Australian Open is the only major title that the Spaniard is yet to win, and Alcaraz will look to achieve the Career Slam<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz has already won six Grand Slam titles at just 22 years old.
