Carlos Alcaraz achieved more than his third quarterfinal in his journey at the first Grand Slam. With his advance to the penultimate round of the 2026 Australian Open, the Spaniard has secured not losing points in his ATP ranking tally, knowing he will leave Melbourne with at least 12,050 points.

From now on, each victory will mean a significant gain in points, obtaining a certain margin in the battle for the number 1 spot with Jannik Sinner. The Spanish player needs to reach February with a large advantage, as Sinner will have three months where he can only earn points in any tournament he competes in.
