The fact that this 2026 Australian Open will go down in the history of men's tennis
The four male semifinalists of the 2026 Australian Open have been the top four seeds. This, which would seem logical given the favoritism that comes with that privilege, is quite uncommon. Evidence of this is that it has only occurred 17 times in the Open Era, with the last being at Roland Garros 2019. Therefore, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Novak Djokovic have made history.
For the 1st time since Roland Garros 2019 seeded players Number 1-2-3-4 are qualified for the Men’s singles SF.
