Beyond conquering the coveted Career Grand Slam, Carlitos has the opportunity to pocket another historic precocity record... surpassing Björn Borg along the way.

Alexander Bublik has a clear goal in mind: to reach the top-10 for the first time in his career. It seemed unthinkable a year and a half ago, but the Kazakh shows the consistency we have long asked for, and that change in mentality is paying off. At the ATP Hong Kong 2026, his first event of the year, he has the opportunity to enter that exclusive club on his own terms: if he clinches the title, he will step into the top ten in the world. The start, undoubtedly, is promising: a comfortable victory over Botic van de Zandschulp (6-3, 6-3) displaying a level identical to that of the previous season. It doesn’t seem like the New Year is bringing back an inconsistent version of the Kazakh... making him a real threat in future matches.
Other results of the day (round of 16 matches):
- Marcos Giron d. Alexandre Muller (7) 6-4, 7-6(4)
- Jerry Shang (WC) d. Lorenzo Sonego (5) 6-3, 6-4

Spanish and Italian are making their 2026 debut playing an exhibition match in Seoul this coming Saturday. We bring you the details of the most anticipated rivalry.
Emotional words from the Chilean, who continues as the coach of the Pole, about the last months of recovery, Hubert's willpower after his injury, and his goals for the future.
Grigor Dimitrov was eager to shine in his official return to the courts. After his serious pectoral injury at the previous Wimbledon, the ATP Brisbane 2026 was his first test of the year... a test that has ended abruptly and, perhaps surprisingly for many. The Bulgarian was defeated in the second round by Raphael Collignon, who is emerging as one of the names to watch this year (7-6(1), 6-3). Consistency, power from both sides of the court, and a lot of composure in crucial moments: with this victory and advancement to the quarterfinals, Collignon is now ranked #71 in the world, breaking his historical best ranking and climbing 13 positions in the standings.
Other results of the day (round of 16 matches):

Yesterday, what happened in the match between Reilly Opelka and Kamil Majchrzak in the round of 16 of the ATP 250 Brisbane went almost unnoticed. The victory went to the Polish player (6-7, 7-6, 7-6) in three thrilling tiebreaks, but the standout stat of the match belonged to the American. The talented Reilly managed to hit a remarkable 44 aces, thus recording the third-highest total in a three-set match. Only Ivo Karlovic with 45 aces in Halle 2015 and Milos Raonic with 47 aces in Queen's 2024 rank higher in the historical chart.

Carlos Alcaraz sat down with Andrea Petkovic a few weeks ago to bring an exclusive interview to the Tennis Channel table. It is true that during the conversation, we missed questions about current affairs - no mention of Juan Carlos Ferrero - although we did hear the Murcian evaluating his 2025 season, which he described as the best of his career.
"Last season I played very good tennis with a lot of consistency. That was my goal: to maintain a very high level in many consecutive tournaments. From the clay court season to the end of the year, I think it was the best season I have played so far," commented the current World No. 1.

Rafa Jódar was clear when deciding between university and tennis, but he seems even clearer every time he steps onto the court. Competing this week in his first tournament of the year at the Challenger 125 de Canberra, the Madrilenian continues to show himself unstoppable against any opponent. This morning, he defeated Sho Shimabukuro (6-2, 6-4) to advance to the semifinals without having lost a set in five matches played. Will he be able to kick off 2026 with a trophy? For now, he is two steps away from achieving that, which would place him among the top 130 in the rankings.
