Coincidences do not exist, although there is a statistic regarding the Australian Open champions that gives much to think about. Carlos Alcaraz will face his fifth participation in the first Grand Slam of the season in 2026, with his best record being the quarterfinals reached in 2023 and 2024. He will do so at the age of 22, placing him in an identical situation to when Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Jannik Sinner won their first title in Melbourne. All of them did it in the first final they played there. Will the Murcian be able to continue this curious trend?
