Carlos Alcaraz is now the champion of the 2026 Australian Open, after a great final against Novak Djokovic (2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5). Just after receiving the winner's trophy, he said his first words: "Novak, you deserve an ovation, what you do is very inspiring for everyone. I really enjoy watching you play, it is an honor to share the court with you, thank you very much for what you are doing. To my team, I believe no one knows how hard I have worked to achieve this trophy, it has been a preseason full of emotions, and you have pushed me to do things, this trophy is also yours."
He also had some words for Rafa Nadal, who was present at the final: "For me, it was also very strange to see Nadal in the stands, it is the first time to see you there, it has been an honor to see you here and also to have shared the locker room with you, thank you very much for coming here."
