Carlos Alcaraz already knows who his next obstacle will be at the 2026 Australian Open. The Spanish player will face Yannick Hanfmann in the second round if he advances. This 34-year-old German is currently ranked 102 in the world, previously reaching 45th in the ATP rankings. He has reached two career finals but has not won a title and has not gone beyond the second round in Grand Slam tournaments. Hanfmann is a well-rounded player with a strong serve and consistent groundstrokes, having previously faced Alcaraz at the 2023 Beijing tournament, where Alcaraz had a clear victory. Hanfmann's first-round victory was against Svajda, with a score of 7-5 4-6 6-4 7-6 (3).

The times when Sebastian Korda was considered one of the young players destined for success on the ATP circuit are long gone. The former world number 15 has been caught in a negative spiral of injuries and inconsistency for years, leading to a fall outside the top 50. However, what happened at the 2026 Australian Open marks a turning point in his career as he was defeated in the first round by Michael Zheng, a 21-year-old ranked 174th in the world. The final result was 6-4 6-4 3-6 6-7 (0) 6-3.

Apart from the breakup of Alcaraz and Ferrero, another of the major professional splits at the beginning of 2026 has been between Alejandro Davidovich and Félix Mantilla. The player from Malaga explained to Marca the reason for the separation, which was hard to understand from the outside after Foki completed his best year in tennis. "I had to rebuild the team due to scheduling issues. Félix couldn't travel as much, and I wanted someone who could be available more often. We couldn't coordinate our schedules. Nothing happened. I simply wanted a coach who could be present at all the Grand Slams, and Félix couldn't," stated the Malaga player.

It's not the first time we've seen him do something like this, and it won't be the last either. Corentin Moutet closed out his first-round victory at the 2026 Australian Open against Schoolkate with an underarm serve, something that didn't sit well with some in the crowd: "I did it because I thought I could win the point, and indeed I did. Nothing more, no disrespect intended. I could serve to the T, I could do anything. I decided to do this, so I thought it was the best option at that moment."
