We analyze in detail everything that happened in these two weeks at the Australian Open 2026 and how it may influence upcoming events.
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina will leave the 2026 Australian Open with a new trophy in their showcases, great joy in the rankings, and also a truly substantial bank check. Both the Spanish and Kazakh players will cash in a total of $4,150,000 AUD for their triumph in Melbourne, which translates to approximately $2,793,593 USD, about 2.36 million euros. The Spanish player has earned prize money of around 62 million dollars for his achievements on the court, all at just 23 years old.

It's pleasing when two direct rivals within the circuit show this level of respect and even affection every time they have the opportunity. We've seen it throughout the day between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz after the outcome of this Open de Australia: first on the court, then at the trophy ceremony, and finally on social media. The Serbian wasn't obliged to continue showing gestures towards the Spaniard, but he wanted to throw in a couple of extra compliments to once again demonstrate the mutual admiration they have.
Bravo Carlos, little titan, young wizard of Oz. A worthy champion, a huge talent, wonderful person and history-maker 🙌

Carlos Alcaraz has to celebrate as he deserves after his great success in Melbourne, but he won't be able to postpone too much the decision-making regarding his next steps in the ATP calendar. The Spaniard is registered for the ATP 500 Rotterdam 2026, a tournament held from February 9 to 15. If he were to attend the Dutch event, he would have only one week between his trip from Australia to Europe, a few days of rest, and the preparation for an indoor tournament.
It seems unlikely that Carlos will keep his commitment to defend the title there. Especially considering that the following week, from February 16 to 21, he would compete in the ATP 500 Doha 2026, an event with more powerful financial incentives, closer to Indian Wells and Miami, unavoidable appointments in March. This schedule would also give the Spaniard the necessary time to unwind in Murcia before traveling there.

The genius, without setting limits to his magic, found the maturity to reign over others. The sky is the limit: Carlos Alcaraz has reformulated his style manual to dominate everyone.
The title at the Australian Open pushes the Spaniard to establish a difference of over 3,000 points with Jannik Sinner and over 8,000 points with Novak Djokovic.
Carlos Alcaraz is a title-winning machine, especially in Grand Slam finals. Following his latest success at the 2026 Australian Open, the Spaniard has a record of seven wins and one loss in Grand Slam finals. This stat puts him on par with Roger Federer and Henri Cochet, while Björn Borg, Pete Sampras, Rafael Nadal, Fred Perry, John Newcombe, and Bill Tilden trail with 6 wins and two losses each.

Carlos Alcaraz has not only become the youngest tennis player to win all 4 Grand Slams, but also leads in major titles after turning 22 with a total of 7.

As tradition dictates, Carlos Alcaraz will tattoo his success at the 2026 Australian Open on his skin. He already has a strawberry for Wimbledon, the Eiffel Tower for Roland Garros, and the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty for the US Open. So, after winning in Melbourne, he has confirmed what his next tattoo will be: "I've said it will be a kangaroo, for sure, a small kangaroo. I don't know where it will go, but for sure on the leg. I don't know if on the right or left. I have to choose the spot well, but it will definitely be next to the Roland Garros or Wimbledon one. I just have to decide."
