Tiziana Scalabrine

Hi from Quiet Please, the podcast of Ultimo Uomo that tells you about the great slam.

And today we are going to tell you about the first career slam of this podcast.

In the Australian Open 2026, for our episode number 105, Carlos Alcaraz became the sixth tennis player in history, and the youngest ever, to complete the victory of all four slams.

He managed to win against Novak Djokovic, who was the last 10 years ago to reach this goal, and at 38 he played to become the oldest to win a Slam title.

The day before, Elena Rybakina beat Arina Sapalenka in 3 sets, taking the rematch of the 3-year-old final, again winning a Slam title

after Wimbledon 2022 and completing his return to the absolute top of tennis.

From us, Tiziana Scalabrine and Emanuele Atturo, a lot of gratitude for you who have followed this tournament with us.

So, I thought about it when, I don't know if in an interview or something written, Maria Stravo said that she had thought about this scene before doing it.

And I realized that sometimes it is not said that it must be a spontaneous manifestation, but it can be one of those things that you can prepare.

And in my opinion, what convinces me the most is to fall on my knees and look down.

A kind of, or a little plant.

Okay, okay.

A plant, without tears really, but that, like, for a moment you, however, hide your face from the rest of the world and take, like, a second just for you on that field, like that.

It's that of Cinder at Wimbledon, I don't remember because the one in which he crashed on the line remained iconic.

Yes, that's true.

Yes, but that was a blue field, so it wasn't Wimbledon.

It may be that Wimbledon did it that way.

What about you, Teresti?

I see you a lot.

No, I don't think it was rhetorical, because in the end it's nice that you started by expressing empathy for that reaction.
