Carlos Alcaraz showed his best version in this Australian Open 2026, crushing Alex de Miñaur in the quarterfinals. But before focusing on his semifinal match with Alexander Zverev, he spoke with Eurosport Spain where he confessed his step forward in terms of maturity. "I feel very good, each match I have been improving and my level has been growing. My team, from the first match, asked me for patience because they knew my level would come. One of the things I have been working on is to stay calm when I need it most. I started very well, but things have turned a bit, I lost the feelings, but I remained serious all the time. I am maturing and growing, but never losing my essence," stated the world number one.

Carlos Alcaraz reaches his first semifinals of the Australian Open, after convincingly defeating Alex de Miñaur (7-5, 6-2, 6-1) and his next opponent will be Alexander Zverev. Speaking about his victory against the Australian and his upcoming match against the German, he said in the on-court interview with Jim Courier: "It's very difficult to play against him. I started very well, hitting the ball very well, but with Alex, you have to stay focused throughout the whole match, you have to win the point three or four times. Against Zverev, I'll have to raise my level, he's playing very well, and I'll have to be ready to take my revenge," said the Spaniard recalling that defeat against 'Sacha' in the quarterfinals of 2024.

Carlos Alcaraz has managed to increase the points in his ATP ranking after reaching the semifinals of the 2026 Australian Open. The Spaniard adds a whopping 400 points, now reaching 12,450 points. This will make him leave Melbourne with a significant advantage over Jannik Sinner. In the worst-case scenario for the Spaniard (elimination in the semis and Italian title), he would still have a 950-point lead. This lead would be much larger if Carlos keeps progressing and/or if Sinner loses a match in Australia.
