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.
What significant achievement did Carlos Alcaraz accomplish at the Australian Open 2026?
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.
How did Alcaraz's victory compare to past Grand Slam champions?
From us, Tiziana Scalabrine and Emanuele Atturo, a lot of gratitude for you who have followed this tournament with us.
Yes, thank you for following it with us and sorry if we did a bit of in and out of the video, we promise to be more constant in the future. And I wanted to ask Tiziana, how would you feel after winning a slam? I mean, after the match point. What iconic image would you give to the world?
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.
What emotions do players experience after winning a Grand Slam?
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.
Ah, okay, like a prayer to Mecca.
A kind of, or a little plant. Okay, okay.
What is the significance of Rybakina's win against Sabalenka?
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.
Which was that of Sinner, no? Is that of Sinner at Wimbledon, maybe?
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 thought about it because maybe I would have a reaction similar to that of Ribaghi.
I see you a lot.
I mean, a little depressed. A little depressed and at a late start. I understand her a lot, I understand her a lot.
How has Rybakina's personality evolved in the tennis circuit?
I was so happy for her, for this victory. It was... And I think there's a bit of magic in this, in her poor communication with the outside world. It seems to me that the criticisms that she received, even if they are a bit embarrassing, there are those who criticized her for the poor happiness she showed, it was not a real criticism, it was that kind of observation you make because you think you say something smart. but knowing that you are not saying it, actually. And instead, in the end, I saw a very literary thing, this very introverted champion, certainly countercultural, I mean, we are in an era in which all the exultations are face-to-face, in which the celebration is an extreme moment of personal exhibition and also of the exhibition of a desire for superiority towards the context, towards others, towards the world.
There is always this thing of rivalry towards everyone. Instead, in this expression so contained, so modest, so anti-appearance. Maybe I'm saying rhetorical things, we're always on the edge, but in my opinion it's authentic poetry.
What role does emotional state play in high-stakes tennis matches?
No, I don't think it was rhetorical, because in the end it's nice that you started by expressing empathy for that reaction. In the end, the fact that someone has between the 9 out of the 10 things to say about her is the fact, why don't you smile more? Yes, it is true that it begins to become explicit that you have nothing else of intelligence to say, but anyway this story continues and I really like it, apart from her in general, but the fact that, despite her saying it, she continues to do absolutely as she pleases and to maintain her spontaneity in this, that is, to be exactly as she wants to be. It's sad that they say smile and you smile.
By the way, there was a lot of discussion when she wasn't known, when she won Wimbledon in 2022.
