Out of the 16 ATP 500 category tournaments that make up the calendar, Alcaraz has almost half in his trophy cabinet. Can he complete the puzzle in his career and sign a historic full house?
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz has had a flawless start to the season, with two titles and a record of 12 wins and no losses. He is still far from becoming one of the best season starts, as he would need at least 18 wins to break into the top 7 historically. However, he faces a monumental challenge in his upcoming matches.
The first Masters 1000 events of the year will be where we can see the Murcian competing again: Indian Wells (March 4-15) and Miami Open (March 18-29). If he were to win both events, he would be the eighth man in tennis history to achieve the Sunshine Double, which means winning both tournaments in the same season, and the 12th player to do so. Additionally, he would arrive at the clay court swing with a record of 24-0 and be three wins away from having the third best season start ever seen.

A week of remarkable benefits for Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP ranking. His title in Doha increases his personal score by 400 points, solidifying his position as the world number 1 and securing it until April, when the clay court tour begins. His current lead over Jannik Sinner is 3,150 points, and he will try to maintain or even extend it in Indian Wells and Miami.

Spanish is close to surpassing its best historical record in the ATP ranking, which is the third best mark ever seen. In Indian Wells and Miami, there is room to add more.
Beyond the complete dominance of the Murcian in his second title of 2026, there is a hidden key that explains the ease with which he took the center of the court. We uncover it.
Carlos Alcaraz leaves ATP 500 Doha 2026 with a trophy in his suitcase, but also with a good haul of ATP ranking points and, above all, money earned. The Spaniard pockets a total of $529,945 for being the champion, in addition to the guaranteed fee by the tournament organizers just for participating, which was revealed days ago to amount to 1.2 million dollars.

After defeating Fils and winning the title in Doha, Carlos appeared at the press conference with the brightest smile, happy, on cloud nine: "There is nothing better than dedicating yourself to what you love."
The final of the ATP 500 Doha between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils enters fully into the history books of tennis. Not because of the result or its consequences, but because of the decisiveness with which the Spanish player took the victory. Alcaraz overwhelmed Fils 6-2, 6-1 in 50 minutes. This makes it the 12th fastest final in ATP history, with no retirements. In this century, there have only been five faster finals.

Carlos Alcaraz added the 26th ATP title of his career in Doha. A number that breaks down into 7 Grand Slams, 8 Masters 1000, 9 ATP500, and 2 ATP250. Only the tournaments in Acapulco, Hamburg, Basel, and Vienna resist him in the silver category, where he has already triumphed in Rotterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona, Queen's, Beijing, and Tokyo. This places him on par with Andy Murray in tournaments of this level, only behind three legends like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

Carlos Alcaraz starts the year flawlessly. His record for this year is already 12-0, with titles in each of his two tournament appearances: 2 out of 2 after the Australian Open and Doha. A winning streak on outdoor hard courts that only adds to the one he had from last year when he was defeated by David Goffin in March at the Miami Masters 1000. The Spaniard now boasts a streak of 30 consecutive victories under these conditions, just one short of Jannik Sinner's 31-0 record on indoor courts.
