Carlos Alcaraz (20 years) and Jon Rahm (29), tennis player and golfer who should be leaders of Spanish sport in the coming years, starred in two great moments in 2023 by both winning the most famous titles in their disciplines, Wimbledon and the August Masters. For both of us it was the second grand slam of their careers after both debuting in US OpenRahm in 2021 and Alcaraz in 2022.
The Murcian victory on the London grass culminated in a rare final match Novak Djokovic in five sets: 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6 and 6-4 after 4h.42′ of battle. With that victory, Carlos, who has won six titles, alone stole the ‘big one’ in 2023 from the Serbian as the herald of another great rivalry in 2024.
Jon Rahm caused a real earthquake in the world of golf. Between January and April there were four victories, the last of them, the most fought, worked, appreciated, appreciated, exciting, felt… in other words, the ‘biggest’: the Augusta Masters, his second ‘major’ and first green jacket for the Basque, 40 years after the second to his admired and beloved Seve Ballesterosto whom he dedicated the victory looking at the sky of Georgia in the closing afternoon at National Augusta.
He previously won the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, the Amex in the California desert and the Tiger Woods Foundation’s Genesis in Los Angeles. Pure spectacle and a prelude to what could be a season.
But there are no more victories, but the sa Ryder. Rahm was unable to successfully defend his leadership of the FedEx Cup and become the first Spaniard to win it, his last participation a month later when he was suspended from membership on the PGA Tour after his high-profile signing for LIV Golfthe Arab Super League
