It's an incredible achievement with many Spaniards on social media congratulation Alcaraz on it. One of them was Rafael Nadal who wrote on Twitter:
"Congratulations Carlos Alcaraz for your first Grand Slam and [world] No. 1, which tops off your first great season, which I am sure will be the first of many."
He also praised Ruud for his efforts:
“Great effort Casper Ruud! Very proud of you! Tough luck today but amazing tournament and season! Keep going!”
Nadal tweeted it immediately upon conclusion of the match, 01:40 in the morning, local Spanish time. It seems like was staying up to watch the match.
