After conquering the Australian Open and adding the Career Grand Slam to his resume, the year is not over for Alcaraz: we reveal five possible sources of motivation in 2026.
Career Grand Slam
Carlos Alcaraz has completed one of the most impressive feats in the history of world tennis, by having all four Grand Slam titles in his trophy cabinet. This had been achieved before by 5 players in the Open Era (Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic), but none of them did it at such a young age as the Murcian has. In fact, Alcaraz breaks the record for the youngest to conquer the Career Grand Slam previously held by Nadal, who accomplished it just over 24 years old at the US Open 2010.

Only two players in history have been able to win all Grand Slam tournaments more than once. They were Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, both achieving this at an advanced age. The Spaniard did it at the 2022 Australian Open, at the age of 35, while the Serb holds the record for doing it at 34, at Roland Garros 2021. And now, Carlos Alcaraz is just one title away from matching them. To become the youngest to achieve this, he will have an 11-year margin. Yes, you read that right. If the Spaniard claims one more title at the Australian Open before 2033, he will hold the record for precocity by completing the Double Career Slam.
Carlos Alcaraz will go for the DOUBLE CAREER SLAM at the 2027 Australian Open at age 23😱
