ALCARAZ HAS SET THE NEW BENCHMARK, SAYS JANNIK SINNER'S COACH
US Open Loss Sparks Praise For Alcaraz From Sinner’s Coach
Simone Vagnozzi, Jannik Sinner's coach, provided a candid evaluation of his player's performances in Cincinnati and the US Open, emphasizing the loss in New York.
Alcaraz won his sixth major championship at the age of 22 after defeating Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in two hours and forty-two minutes. In their most recent match, Vagnozzi conceded that the Spaniard was better physically and in terms of tennis.
Carlos outplayed the world no. 1 in every category and showed greater variety than him, winning his second US Open championship and ending the rival's 27-match winning run in hard-court Majors.
The Italian found it difficult to force his serve. Additionally, he exhibited recurring tendencies that were ineffective against a formidable and resolute foe. Jannik broke five of his opponent's eleven opportunities while serving at 48%.
Carlos blasted more than 40 winners after masterfully controlling his strokes. He had the advantage in the remaining sets to win, but he dropped the second set on the only chance his opponent had.
Alarm bells, however, are out of the question for Vagnozzi. After his three-month suspension, Sinner has had a difficult time. He is competitive, balanced, recuperative, and always adapting.
After two major wins in Melbourne and London and other finals, the Italian's season is still outstanding despite the loss in the US Open final. Jannik was absent from four Masters 1000 competitions.
He is still in the running for the top spot at the end of the year, though, before his Shanghai Masters debut. In recent weeks, the San Candido native has worked on a number of upgrades, particularly in the serving area.
To increase the accuracy and consistency of his first shot, he and his crew made minor technical improvements. Despite anticipated ups and downs at the ATP 500 event in Beijing, the initial indications have been encouraging.
Long-term growth is still prioritised over immediate responses by Jannik's team. Every encounter will add to that development, and Vagnozzi places a high value on advancement.
"I wasn't shocked by Jannik's loss in the US Open final. At that time, Carlos's physical and tennis skills were superior. It's important to remember that Jannik has had a really challenging five months.
After two major championships this season and so many finals, we shouldn't discuss any crises. We are looking for enhancements. Sometimes things work, and other times they don't. In New York and Cincinnati, Jannik did not perform well.
Before travelling to China, we slightly altered his serve motion. Simone Vagnozzi stated, "He has been serving well and has adapted well."
NOVAK DJOKOVIC LANDS IN ATHENS AFTER HISTORIC AUSTRALIAN OPEN RUNNER-UP FINISH
After a historic loss to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic returns to his family in Athens to reset for the 2026 tennis season.
After losing his first Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic just wanted to see his family.
Djokovic landed in Athens on Tuesday, wrapping up two weeks away from home and marking his 38th appearance in a major final.
For the first time ever, Novak walked away from Rod Laver Arena with the runner-up trophy. At 36, he became the oldest finalist in Australian Open history, but Alcaraz stopped him in four sets: 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The match lasted just over three hours.
This was Djokovic's first tournament in more than two months, and even so, he showed why people call him a legend. He cruised through the first three rounds and reached the last 16 without much fuss.
In the fourth round, Jakub Mensik had to pull out with an abdominal injury, so Novak got a walkover and saved some energy for the big matches ahead. But things nearly fell apart a few days later. Lorenzo Musetti took the first two sets in their quarterfinal, and for a moment, Djokovic looked like he might be headed home early. Then, out of nowhere, Musetti retired in the third set, and suddenly Novak was through to his 13th Australian Open semi-final.
Next up was Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending champ. Djokovic had to dig deep. Twice he came back from a set down and eventually won 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after more than four hours on court. He fought off 16 out of 18 break points and weathered over 70 winners from Sinner, proving that belief really does go a long way. At 36, he marched into his 38th major final.
Djokovic left everything on court against Alcaraz. He started strong, but the Spaniard found his rhythm and took control in the second and third sets, racking up five breaks. In the fourth, Novak saved six break points early on and kept pace, even earning a break chance at 4-all. Then he missed a forehand he’d usually make, and just like that, his shot at a fifth set slipped away.
Alcaraz broke late in the set and sealed the win, handing Djokovic his first-ever loss in an Australian Open final. Now, Novak’s taking some time off to be with his family. He’s expected back on court soon, probably in Doha, but right now, only he knows how his schedule will look.
WHO IS SAMUEL LOPEZ? MEET THE COACH BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ’S 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GLORY
Discover the touching moment Carlos Alcaraz saw coach Samuel Lopez receive a trophy after his Australian Open victory.
Carlos Alcaraz just pulled off something huge—he beat Novak Djokovic in four sets (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) to win the Australian Open. With this win, he joins the legends of the Open era, becoming one of the rare players to snag at least one title at all four Grand Slams.
Here’s the wild part: Alcaraz is just 22. Actually, he turns 23 on May 5, so he’s still got plenty of time. This marks his seventh Grand Slam title already. For a bit of perspective, Djokovic had only one Grand Slam trophy at Alcaraz’s age.
Since he’d never won the Australian Open before, Alcaraz didn’t really know the drill for the trophy ceremony. His coach, Samuel Lopez, got a trophy too, which caught Carlos off guard—in a good way. Their partnership has clearly paid off.
Talking to the media, Alcaraz said he loved that coaches get recognised with their own trophy. He hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a fantastic idea, since a champion’s journey isn’t a solo effort. Watching Samuel Lopez get his moment meant a lot to him. “It’s wonderful, and when I saw him there, I was so happy because I know Samuel has been working toward this moment his whole life. For me, he’s one of the best coaches—if not the best—you can have on a tennis court today. For me, it was a magical and incredibly special moment: hugging him after the last point and also seeing him there, with everyone recognising what he deserves,” Alcaraz said.
Not everyone was convinced after Alcaraz split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and started working with Lopez. Some experts doubted whether he could keep dominating the tour this year. But after Melbourne, it looks like Alcaraz isn’t going anywhere. Even without Ferrero, he’s still leading the pack.
With three more Grand Slams coming up this season, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. You get the feeling that we’ll be watching Alcaraz and Sinner battling for the biggest prizes all year long.
