Youngest Grand Slam singles winner on all three surfaces (male)

Tokito Oda (Japan, b. 8 May 2006) was 17 years 264 days old when he won the Australian Open men’s wheelchair singles title on the hard courts of Melbourne on 27 January 2024. Previously, he had won the French Open (on clay) and Wimbledon (on grass) in 2023.

Carlos Alcaraz (Spain, b. 5 May 2003) was 21 years 35 days old when he won the French Open singles title on the clay at Stade Roland Garros in Paris on 9 June 2024, having previously won the US Open (on hard courts) in 2022 and Wimbledon (on grass) in 2023. Three years Oda’s senior, Alcaraz nevertheless made his mark as the youngest men’s three-surface champion (non-wheelchair) in Grand Slam history.

By defeating Alfie Hewett 6-2, 6-4 on Melbourne’s Kia Arena, Oda became the ninth male player to win a Grand Slam singles title on three different surfaces, after Jimmy Connors (1978), Mats Wilander (1988), Andre Agassi (1999), Rafael Nadal (2009; previously the youngest man to achieve the feat, aged 22 years 243 days), Roger Federer (2009), Novak Djokovic (2016) and wheelchair players Gustavo Fernández (2019) and Shingo Kunieda (2022). Third seed Alcaraz added his name to the list of three-surface champions after a five-set marathon against Alexander Zverev on Court Philippe-Chatrier (6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2).
