CARLOS ALCARAZ HITS BACK AT CRITICS OVER SIX KINGS SLAM
Carlos Alcaraz defends players competing in exhibitions like the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, stating they are less demanding than the gruelling official tour schedule.
Carlos Alcaraz has maintained that when it comes to criticism of exhibition tournaments, players are misinterpreted.
In addition to Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alcaraz is the top seed at this week's prestigious Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia.
The world No. 1 said he would think about skipping required events to put his health first. Alcaraz was one among those criticising the rigorous tour schedule in Asia, where several players experienced physical difficulties.
Thus, the Spaniard can see why the Six Kings Slam is causing some concern, but he thinks the naysayers are misguided.
"I think it is a discussion that a lot of players and a lot of people are talking about with the calendar, how tight it is with a lot of tournaments and the tournaments of two weeks, and then making some, I am going to say, excuses with exhibitions, how players are complaining about the calendar and then playing some exhibitions," Alcaraz told the PA news agency.
"All I can say is that playing exhibitions is a completely different structure and scenario than the actual tournaments, with 15–16 days in a row, a high level of intensity, and physical demands.
That is why we occasionally select the exhibitions, in my opinion, since we are merely enjoying ourselves for a day or two while playing tennis.
Of course, I am aware of the criticism, but occasionally, people fail to comprehend us or our viewpoints.
I do not understand why so many people are moaning about how we are defending the exhibitions when, as I mentioned, it is not as psychologically taxing as it would be during our two-week or two-and-a-half-week events. It is very difficult.
Despite suffering an ankle injury in his opening match that forced him to withdraw from the Shanghai Masters, Alcaraz won his eighth title of an incredible season in Tokyo last month.
Despite acknowledging that the injury is not completely healed, the 22-year-old decided to travel to Saudi Arabia, stating, "Everything's OK." I have been doing my best to recover from the ankle.
"I think it improved a lot, and I am going to compete and perform well here in the Six Kings Slam," the player said. "I would not say without a doubt, but I do have some doubts while I am moving on court."
At the event, which is a part of Riyadh Season and will be televised on Netflix, Alcaraz has advanced to the semi-finals, where he will play either Fritz or Zverev on Thursday.
He wants to surpass last year's inaugural Six Kings Slam, in which Sinner emerged victorious in their last match and took home the largest reward in tennis, $6 million (about £4.5 million).
Alcaraz, however, is back in familiar sporting ground after competing in the Open de España Pro-Am last week with Ryder Cup stalwarts Shane Lowry and Jon Rahm.
Alcaraz is an avid golfer, and during his days off at the US Open, the Spaniard hits the fairways.
"It was an amazing experience," he remarked. "I spent a day playing with Jon and Lowry, along with other professionals, in Madrid. It was wonderful to play golf with them because I want to maximise my time when I am taking some days off.
I am taking a lot of notes from them and realising that I still have a lot of golfing to do. I was impressed when I watched them hit the ball and play at such a high level. Sometimes, feeling like an amateur is fantastic.
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.
