Carlos Alcaraz still doesn't know what it's like to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam. The Spaniard made a convincing debut at the 2026 Australian Open after defeating Adam Watlon (6-4, 7-6(2), 6-2), making it 20 victories in his first 20 Grand Slam opening rounds. A feat previously achieved only by three tennis legends like Arthur Ashe, Björn Borg, and Rafa Nadal.
