Australian Open
Alcaraz began his 2026 season at the Australian Open. He reached the semifinals without dropping a single set.[5] In the semifinal against Alexander Zverev, he won the first two sets before struggling due to cramps. After dropping the third and fourth sets in a pair of tiebreaks, he resurged to win the decider. At 5 hours and 27 minutes, this was the longest Australian Open semifinal and third-longest overall match in tournament history.[6] Alcaraz became the youngest man in the Open Era to reach the final of all four majors, breaking the record set by Jim Courier in 1993.[7] Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the final to clinch his maiden Australian Open title, becoming the youngest man in history to complete a Career Grand Slam at 22 years, 272 days old.[8] He also became the youngest man in the Open Era to win seven major singles titles.[9]
