AUSTRALIAN OPEN: WHY CARLOS ALCARAZ THINKS TOMMY PAUL IS HIS MOST DANGEROUS 2026 OPPONENT SO FAR
Carlos Alcaraz celebrates his 100th Grand Slam match by matching Björn Borg's record. Next up: a fourth-round clash with Tommy Paul.
Carlos Alcaraz rolled through his third-round match on Friday, barely breaking a sweat as he beat France’s Corentin Moutet in straight sets: 6-2, 6-4, 6-1. That was Alcaraz’s 100th Grand Slam match—a cool milestone, even if he didn’t make a big deal about it. Funny enough, Moutet was hoping to notch his 100th tour-level win, but Alcaraz didn’t give him a chance. The world No. 1 slammed 30 winners, made 20 unforced errors, and dropped his serve twice, but never really looked rattled.
Alcaraz came into this tournament without any warm-up events—same as Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. His only real competition was an exhibition in South Korea and a hit at the 1 Point Slam event. Still, he feels good about where his game is right now.
“My level is getting better and better,” he said afterwards. “Corentin doesn’t really play with a lot of rhythm—lots of dropshots and slices—, so it’s hard to get comfortable out there. I just tried to take whatever rhythm I could find, and honestly, I’m happy with how I handled it.”
He hasn’t lost a set yet in Melbourne, but now things get interesting. Up next: Tommy Paul, the 19th seed. On paper, it’s Alcaraz’s toughest match so far. This will be the third straight year these two meet at a Slam. Paul lost to him at Wimbledon in 2024 and at the French Open last year, though he did manage to take a set at the All England Club.
“He’s a great player,” Alcaraz said about Paul. “I know what I have to do, but he’s fast, and he hits great shots. If I want to beat him, I need to stick to my game and play my best tennis. I know it’s going to be tough, and I have to be ready for that—to accept those hard moments when they come.”
Paul, who made the Australian Open semifinals last year, thinks his mindset will matter more than anything else when he faces Alcaraz.
“He’s the standard everyone’s chasing right now,” Paul said. “But I go in excited, ready to give my best, and believing in myself. That’s what I always bring when I play Carlos—I believe I can win every single time. If you don’t have that, what’s the point of going out there?”
Alcaraz now holds an 87-13 career record at Grand Slam tournaments.
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.
