Carlos Alcaraz
Rafael Nadal returned to the spotlight after his presence in the final of the 2026 Australian Open. In Melbourne, the Mallorcan witnessed Carlos Alcaraz's triumph and Novak Djokovic's latest attempt to secure his 25th Grand Slam. Speaking at the presentation of a charity golf circuit promoted by his Foundation, Nadal's remarks on a potential 25th win by Djokovic may have surprised some, as he stated that it wouldn't be "good or bad for tennis." "I don't think Djokovic winning his 25th Grand Slam would change anything in tennis", declared Rafa, who also praised Carlitos, already labeling him a "legend" in the sport. Lastly, he avoided comparisons between current Carlos and current Novak with a rather curious analogy: "Comparing Carlos to today's Novak would be like comparing Barcelona's Messi to the present one, or Real Madrid's Cristiano to the current one." What do you think?

Carlos Alcaraz is back. After completing the Career Grand Slam in the past Australian Open and taking a few days off with his family and friends, the world number one has been seen training again in preparation for his return at the ATP 500 in Doha, where he will try to improve on last year's result when he fell in the quarterfinals to Jiri Lehecka. Alcaraz has never won this tournament, so he will travel to Qatar tomorrow with the goal of achieving it for the first time.

Perhaps many of us still find it hard to see Carlos Alcaraz within the Olympus of the chosen ones at only 22 years old, but his track record doesn't lie. Regardless of his age - in this case, a ridiculously young age by these standards - what he has achieved in his short career places him unquestionably among the best in history. I'm not saying it, Rafael Nadal is.
"Alcaraz is not a promise anymore; he has seven Grand Slams, so he is already a legend in our sport. When you look at great historical players, not many have won seven grand slams. In Australia, he played a high-level match where you could see the age difference, but each one tried to perform at their best, using their own strengths. I really enjoyed watching the final," assessed the Balearic in statements gathered by the newspaper MARCA during his latest promotional event.

The former Wimbledon champion offered an interesting reflection on how to defeat Carlos and Jannik: calling for more play at the net, serve and volley... and, ultimately, a greater element of surprise.
Carlos Alcaraz already has his next goal in mind: the ATP Doha 2026. It will be in Qatar where the player from Murcia will appear again, and his roadmap, as reported by Marca, is already in motion. Carlitos returned to training in Murcia last Friday, starting a new block that will last an exact week: this Saturday, Alcaraz will head to Qatari lands accompanied by Samuel López, Alberto Lledó, and Albert Molina. He will seek to add another trophy to his collection, in a tournament where he could cross paths with names like Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, or Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Carlos Alcaraz continues to add weeks at the top of the ATP ranking and has now reached 58, making him the 13th player in history with the most time as world number 1. He ties with Jim Courier, whom he will surpass next Monday, and his next challenge will be to reach Jannik Sinner, who has 66 weeks in that position. He still has a 22-week gap to enter the top 10, currently closed by Lleyton Hewitt.
