Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz won the men’s singles title at the 2026 Australian Open, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final 2–6, 6–2, 6–3, 7–5 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Alcaraz, the world No. 1, dropped the first set but rallied with aggressive baseline play, remarkable defense, and sustained pressure to secure his first Australian Open crown and seventh Grand Slam title overall, marking a major milestone in his career. The victory was historic: at 22 years old, Alcaraz became the youngest man in tennis history to complete the career Grand Slam by winning all four majors, breaking long-standing records and ending Djokovic’s unbeaten run in Australian Open finals (10–0 before this match). Defending champion Jannik Sinner was stopped in the semifinals by Djokovic, who nonetheless became the oldest Australian Open finalist in the Open Era at 38.
