Carlos Alcaraz still doesn't know what it's like to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam. The Spaniard made a convincing debut at the 2026 Australian Open after defeating Adam Watlon (6-4, 7-6(2), 6-2), making it 20 victories in his first 20 Grand Slam opening rounds. A feat previously achieved only by three tennis legends like Arthur Ashe, Björn Borg, and Rafa Nadal.
4- Carlos Alcaraz is the 4th player in the Open Era to win the opening match in each of his first 20 Men's Singles Grand Slam appearances after Arthur Ashe, Bjorn Borg, and Rafael Nadal. Marching. #AusOpen | @AustralianOpen @atptour
