The Spaniard states that the first Grand Slam of the year has always been the goal at the beginning of each season and sees Djokovic "prepared to continue winning major titles."
Carlos Alcaraz
The Serbian laments the missed opportunity against the Spanish in Australia: "I don't know if I will play another Grand Slam final," but he shows pride: "I lost to an already legendary player."
Carlos Alcaraz has barely had time to enjoy his success at the 2026 Australian Open and he has already begun the round of interviews. The first one has been with Eurosport Spain, where he wanted to highlight those who doubted him: "I remember the people who told me that I wouldn't make it, that I would come here and lose in the quarterfinals. I remember the people who didn't believe in me, but I didn't come here to prove to anyone that I am capable, I came with a strong desire to prove to myself that I am capable of overcoming challenges."
He also wanted to recall that Australia has always been his main goal in most of his seasons: "It's crazy, at the end of every season I always said that my goal for the next year was the Australian Open. It has been a lot of work, a lot of effort, and a lot of dedication."

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.
