Carlos Alcaraz still doesn't know what it's like to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam. The Spaniard made a convincing debut at the 2026 Australian Open after defeating Adam Watlon (6-4, 7-6(2), 6-2), making it 20 victories in his first 20 Grand Slam opening rounds. A feat previously achieved only by three tennis legends like Arthur Ashe, Björn Borg, and Rafa Nadal.

4- Carlos Alcaraz is the 4th player in the Open Era to win the opening match in each of his first 20 Men's Singles Grand Slam appearances after Arthur Ashe, Bjorn Borg, and Rafael Nadal. Marching. #AusOpen | @AustralianOpen @atptour

Rafa Nadal received a very special visit at his academy in Mallorca this Sunday. The former world number 1 Ana Ivanovic made her way to the Rafa Nadal Academy, where she toured the facilities of one of the projects currently keeping the Spaniard very busy. The Serbian, winner of Roland Garros 2008, like Nadal, reached the top of the WTA ranking after triumphing in Paris almost two decades ago. After 15 titles and a final in the Australian Open, she announced her retirement in 2016 following numerous injuries that affected the final years of her career. On her social media, she expressed her excitement about the visit and thanked Rafa for the warm welcome. 

Thank you for such a warm welcome and showing us around the impressive @rnadalacademy!

Coincidences do not exist, although there is a statistic regarding the Australian Open champions that gives much to think about. Carlos Alcaraz will face his fifth participation in the first Grand Slam of the season in 2026, with his best record being the quarterfinals reached in 2023 and 2024. He will do so at the age of 22, placing him in an identical situation to when Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Jannik Sinner won their first title in Melbourne. All of them did it in the first final they played there. Will the Murcian be able to continue this curious trend?

The incredible coincidence that excites Alcaraz looking ahead to the #AusOpen! 🤯🇪🇸

About a month ago, the images of Rafael Nadal training on the court with Alexandra Eala at the Rafa Nadal Academy went viral, marking the return to tennis activity for the Spaniard. Little was known about that session back then, but now the Filipino tennis player herself reveals her feelings about it. "It's something everyone dreams of, it was a great pleasure, and the memory will stay with me forever. He gave me some valuable advice regarding my forehand and other details," she asserted.

“It’s something people and young kids can only dream about.” 🎾💙@AlexEala05 looks back on what it meant to train with @RafaelNadal for the first time at the @rnadalacademy without a doubt, one of the standout moments of her incredible 2025. pic.twitter.com/EXhegK9OsF

There is no doubt that Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players in history. The Swiss embodied elegance, which led him to the pinnacle of the king sport of the racket and allowed him to win 20 Grand Slams (among many other achievements). In these major tournaments, Federer holds countless positive records, but there is also a surprising fact that no one imagined.

Throughout his illustrious career, the Swiss tennis player played 31 Grand Slam finals, and in none of them could he defeat the number one in the ATP rankings. The culprits were two: Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The Spanish tennis player defeated him in the Australian Open 2009 and Roland Garros 2011 finals when he was at the top of the rankings. On the other hand, the Serbian did the same at Wimbledon in 2015 and 2019, and at the US Open in 2015. Seeing is believing.

Novak Djokovic has offered a sincere reflection on his relationship with his two great rivals: Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. In an interview with former footballer and coach, Slaven Bilic, the Serbian explained that his behavior has always been the same, but the dynamic changed when he perceived a distancing from them: "My behavior towards them never changed. The situation changed because they changed their attitude towards me. I always tried to be, how to say it... I admired them. And I still consider them as those who paved the way for me", Djokovic affirmed. 

The Serbian openly acknowledged a distancing from Federer: "From the moment I felt that coldness and distance on his part, I said to myself: 'Alright, no problem.' Then, when they approached me, I welcomed them with open arms". And he confessed that he has always understood Nadal a little better: "I always had the impression of understanding him better. We are almost the same age, so maybe that's why."

In a recent interview with Diario AS, Rafa Nadal offered one of the most honest and technical explanations as to why facing Novak Djokovic on hard courts was so challenging, especially in the later years of his career. According to the Mallorcan, the key wasn't just the level of the opponent, but the extreme physical demand required to maintain his best tennis during long matches on fast surfaces.

"With Novak, it was a bit more random. Especially on hard courts, when my physical condition no longer allowed me to make certain efforts, it became much harder for me", stated the Spaniard. Nadal admitted that, to have real chances, he needed a physical response that he didn't always find anymore. "To compete against him, I needed my body to respond in a way that, in recent years, it wasn't responding to me". He even tried to make changes in his game plan: "I had to try to shorten the points, but it was very difficult to beat Novak in two or three shots, something that could work for me against other opponents. I tried serve and volley or different tactics, but it didn't work for me". Nevertheless, Nadal pointed out that on clay and grass, he did find solutions, like in the 2018 Wimbledon semifinals, a match he recalls vividly, where he felt "the opportunities were more alive".

Rafa Nadal is no stranger to the direction in which the ATP circuit is moving and closely follows the endeavors of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the current big dominators. In his conversation with AS, the Balearic made it clear that he "does not identify" with either of them, as they are different tennis players from what he was. He compared their personalities and playing styles, also advocating for the Murcian.

"They are different players from what I was. Carlos, perhaps, is more unpredictable and fun, since he is more random, makes more mistakes, sometimes makes more spectacular points, and does not always follow the same game pattern. Jannik is more focused, more methodical, and also adds things little by little, which makes him so solid and lose so few matches", pointed out the manacorí before making his short plea to defend Alcaraz from criticism. "I find it curious when they say he is scattered: the results tell a different story. He has had a very consistent year, has been incredibly solid in all aspects", declared the 14-time champion of Roland Garros.
