1. If Carlos Alcaraz wins his first Wimbledon title, he will become the fifth man in the Open Era to emerge victorious in multiple Grand Slam tournaments before turning 21. This will also make him the first man since Rafael Nadal to win multiple titles before turning 21. Nadal recorded the same in 2005-06.

2. Four Spanish players have won the prestigious title at Wimbledon. They are- Nadal, Santana, Conchita Martinez, and Garbine Muguruza. Winning the title at SW19 will make him the fifth Spanish player to do so.

3. Since winning his maiden Grand Slam in the 2022 US Open, this will be Alcaraz’s second final appearance at a Grand Slam tournament. If he wins, he will become the 7th player to win a Major trophy in his second final appearance at a Grand Slam event since winning his first. The player who recently achieved the feat was Andy Murray. Murray won his first Grand Slam title in the 2012 US Open and won his second title at 2013 Wimbledon, his second appearance at a Grand Slam final.

4. Winning the title at SW19 will make Alcaraz the eighth man to win titles at Queen’s Club Championships and Wimbledon in the same year. It will be also the first time someone will win both titles since Murray in 2016.

5. Lifting the Wimbledon title will make Alcaraz (aged 20 years 72 days) the third youngest player in the Open Era to win the title at the All England Club. Before him, Boris Becker won two times in 1985 and 1986 (aged 17 years and 227 days and 18 years 226 days respectively). Bjorn Borg lifted the title at the age of 20 years 27 days.
