Alex de Miñaur once again suffered a painful defeat at a border, the quarterfinals of the Grand Slams, which continue to elude him. It's now six losses at this stage: today, at home, with a crowd that carried him as the overwhelming local favorite of this 2026 Australian Open, his ceiling took on a human form, name, and surname, someone he is getting to know better each time: Carlos Alcaraz.

How do you take another blow against someone you can't even win a set from? Few tennis players offer more self-criticism and show greater capacity for reflection in a press conference than Miñaur, not holding back in expressing his disappointment with the result and, above all, his inability to "overwhelm" someone as strong as Carlos. Not only that: he surrendered to his clear status as number one and provided the reasons why he couldn't do more today.
