Toni Nadal not only talked about Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero in his interview with Radio Estadio on Onda Cero. The Mallorcan also took the opportunity to discuss the situation of Alexander Zverev, whom he began advising last summer. However, he was very clear in his diagnosis: "Zverev is a dangerous rival, but he has a mental issue, he is under a lot of pressure to win a Grand Slam," lamented the former coach of Rafa Nadal.

Carlos Alcaraz was on the ropes in his Australian Open semifinal match against Alexander Zverev, largely due to some cramps that almost knocked him out of the tournament. The most comedic moment happened at the beginning of the fourth set when in the midst of his personal ordeal, Alcaraz headed to change sides with an attitude that suggested a retirement.

Even Zverev thought that was the case until the world number one signaled to him that he was still in the game. In fact, during a press conference, the tennis player from Murcia confessed that he never considered withdrawing and that his only intention was to let Zverev pass, which puzzled 'Sascha'.

If the 2026 Australian Open was shaping up to be one of the least exciting and quickest Grand Slam editions in recent years, the two men's semifinals have delivered the epicness and duration that people were expecting in this type of tournament. In fact, with both semifinals being five-setters, a total of 9 hours and 36 minutes have been accumulated between them, making them the third-longest Grand Slam semifinals of the 21st century, surpassed only by the 2012 Australian Open (8 hours and 32 minutes) and Wimbledon 2018 (11 hours and 51 minutes). Interestingly, Novak Djokovic has been in both of those semifinals and on both occasions ended up claiming the title. Will it happen for the third time?

Alexander Zverev has once again fallen just short of winning a Grand Slam in the most painful way possible. After coming back from two sets down against Carlos Alcaraz and serving for the match, the German tennis player once again succumbed, highlighting a statistic that explains why the 'majors' elude him. 'Sascha' has faced a top 5 ranking player on 15 occasions in these tournaments, winning only one of them. In fact, it was against Alcaraz himself at the 2024 Australian Open.

There are few players more consistent than Zverev, but when it comes to the crucial moments, his nerves falter. He is already the fifth player with the most victories in Grand Slams that he has not won a title of this caliber. A fact that becomes irrelevant when facing the most important names in the final rounds.

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev have provided a remarkable spectacle in the semifinal duel of the Australian Open 2026, resolved in favor of the Spaniard after 5 hours and 27 minutes. This places him in the history of the Oceanic Grand Slam, becoming the third-longest match ever seen in Melbourne. It is only surpassed by the Djokovic vs Nadal final at the 2012 Australian Open (5 hours and 53 minutes) and the Murray vs Kokkinakis match at the 2023 Australian Open in the second round (5 hours and 45 minutes).
