Alcaraz replicates a milestone of Nadal in a hardcourt final

Carlos Alcaraz continues to harvest victories, titles, and records. One of them, he achieved after convincingly defeating Arthur Fils in the final of the 2026 ATP Doha by 6-2, 6-1. The world number one equaled a milestone set by Rafael Nadal a few years ago. The player from Murcia lost only three games in a complete final of an ATP 500 or higher, a feat not seen since Nadal did it at the 2019 Canada Masters 1000, where he also surrendered only three games in the final against Daniil Medvedev (6-3, 6-0).

3 - Carlos Alcaraz lost the fewest games (three vs Arthur Fils) in an ATP-500 or above completed final on hard court since Rafael Nadal at the Canadian Open 2019 (also three vs Daniil Medvedev). Annihilator.#QatarTennis | @QatarTennis @atptour pic.twitter.com/nQlFIc5I2o
