John McEnroe has confirmed an open secret. The former American tennis player, now a commentator, always tends to give his opinion on any tennis-related topic. In an interview with EL PAÍS, he was asked if he would coach Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner, but in his response, he confessed who his favorite player is: "Anyone who has heard me commentate on matches knows that Alcaraz is probably my favorite player; it's crazy what he can do on a tennis court, and he's not even a particularly tall player; maybe he's half a centimeter taller than me... Honestly, I would enjoy working with either of them, all I would do is give them a pat on the back and wish them luck before they stepped onto the court. I don't know how much I would really have to tell them."

Rafael Nadal offered a few comments at the event he attended this Sunday at the Open de Australia 2026. When asked about his favorite for the final once again, the Spaniard admitted he will be rooting for Carlos Alcaraz due to their special connection after everything they have experienced together. However, he also reiterated that he would be very happy if Novak Djokovic wins because of the history they share as rivals.

David Ferrer confessed in an interview with the SER network about his first experience with Carlos Alcaraz. It happened in Jávea during preseason when Ferrero persuaded him to hit with the young player, who was only 14 years old: "We started training, and I put pressure on him. He handled the first shot, the second one as well, but on the third one, he accelerated. It blew my mind because he was like Nadal. He was 14, and we played a super tiebreak, I won 10-8, but I think he let me win out of respect. I swear he was close to beating me. He's like Nadal but with a different background. He's a tennis genius and a great person."

If the 2026 Australian Open was shaping up to be one of the least exciting and quickest Grand Slam editions in recent years, the two men's semifinals have delivered the epicness and duration that people were expecting in this type of tournament. In fact, with both semifinals being five-setters, a total of 9 hours and 36 minutes have been accumulated between them, making them the third-longest Grand Slam semifinals of the 21st century, surpassed only by the 2012 Australian Open (8 hours and 32 minutes) and Wimbledon 2018 (11 hours and 51 minutes). Interestingly, Novak Djokovic has been in both of those semifinals and on both occasions ended up claiming the title. Will it happen for the third time?

Mystery solved. In the first press conference of the tournament, Carlos Alcaraz was asked whether he would prefer to win the 2026 Australian Open or the other Grand Slams of the year. After his feat against Zverev, he was questioned about it again, and his response was priceless. "I would choose to win this one... if I make it to the finals of the other three," he said with a chuckle. "Yes, I prefer to complete the Grand Slam and be the youngest to do so," he affirmed.
