The first Grand Slam success of the phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Casper Ruud on Sunday in the US Open final, unsurprisingly caused a reaction.
Starting with Rafael Nadal, whose career ended earlier this week against Frances Tiafoe (whom Alcaraz then took care of eliminating).
“Congratulations on your first Grand Slam title and for your number 1 spot, which is the culmination of your first great season, I am sure there will be many more!
Nadal tweeted.

The man with 22 Grand Slam titles also had a word for the unfortunate opponent of Alcaraz, the Norwegian Casper Ruud who becomes world No.2.
“Great effort Casper!
I am very proud of you !
Bad luck today, but you had a great tournament and a great season!
Keep on going !
Nadal wrote to his biggest fan on the circuit.
