Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam with his victory over Novak Djokovic at the 2026 Australian Open.

Carlos Alcaraz shared an old picture with a poignant caption on social media after winning the 2026 Australian Open.

While Djokovic has shown he is the most suitable player to get past the two young talents, he had not seen a major final since Wimbledon in 2024, when he lost to Alcaraz. His last title came at the 2023 U.S. Open, when he defeated Daniil Medvedev.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- The extreme nervous tension. The adrenalin. Elena Rybakina felt it all as she stood at the baseline on match point, relying on one of the best tools at her disposal to clinch the Australian Open title.

Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic are No. 3 and No. 4 in the world. They still feel distant from Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

The trend of the top players steamrolling through their competition extended into the first day of quarterfinal play at the 2026 Australian Open.

The Australian Open is down to the quarterfinal round with No. 8 seed Ben Shelton leading the U.S. contingent and Jessica Pegula downing Madison Keys.
