Once again, Alex de Miñaur fell just short of a Grand Slam semifinal. The Australian arrived in great form at this 2026 Australian Open, but faced a superb Carlos Alcaraz who left him no room to maneuver. Consequently, the 'Aussie's slump in Grand Slams continues, making him the third player to reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam at least 7 times without ever making it to the semifinals. He ties with Tommy Robredo and is surpassed only by Andrey Rublev with 10 occasions.
