Carlos Alcaraz maintains an increasingly close and friendly relationship with Jannik Sinner. Both are developing a historic rivalry seasoned with a camaraderie off the court that challenges even the levels of friendship achieved by Federer and Nadal. A testament to this is that, in words to ESPN, the player from Murcia admitted that he would like to see Sinner win at Roland Garros and complete his own Career Grand Slam. "I would trade a title in Australia with him for one of his in Paris."

Alcaraz was very honest about his new serve and its similarities with Djokovic's.

One of the most noticeable changes in Carlos Alcaraz's pre-season has taken place in his serve. Several videos have compared his 'new serve' with that of Novak Djokovic, something Carlitos was asked about and handled with great maturity. "Everyone has to make changes, small details. The serve is something I want to improve every year, every tournament. I work constantly on my serve."

Honestly, during the pre-season, we didn't think about making changes, but that doesn't mean I haven't made any. I've changed the movement a bit, I feel very, very comfortable, more relaxed, with a smoother rhythm, which helps me have a better serve. You'll probably see more changes in my serve, I don't know if it will be in a few months or by the end of the year. I make constant changes in every shot, the details are what matter. I haven't thought about my serve being the same as Djokovic's, but in the end, even I can see the similarities (smiles)." We hope that his version 3.0 brings great news from Melbourne.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner seem like lifelong friends. The two best tennis players in the world not only create great moments on the court but also off it. The Spanish and the Italian continue to show the strong friendship and bond they share off the court. The latest proof has been seeing how each of them has saved the other in their phone contacts. Alcaraz sticks to the norm: "For me? For me, it's Jannik Sinner." Meanwhile, the world number two uses a trick that many of us do with more than one contact: "I saved him because he changed numbers, so I have him as Carlos Alcaraz new. Very old school," the Italian concluded.

Carlos Alcaraz delivered as the favorite in the exhibition match at Australian Open 2026 against Alex De Miñaur in a packed Rod Laver Arena. With a score of 6-3 and 6-4 in 1 hour and 26 minutes, the world number one was able to showcase great sensations in Melbourne. Resolute on all occasions, Alex could do little more as he was overpowered in both sets.

Carlos Alcaraz will face his debut at the 2026 Australian Open against a player little known to the general public but who is currently in a great moment of his career, like Adam Walton. This 26-year-old Australian tennis player is ranked 79th in the ATP, with his best position being 74th in October 2025. He has experienced reaching the second round in all Grand Slam tournaments except for the one held in his country and in 2025 he achieved 13 ATP wins and won a Challenger tournament in Brisbane. He is a very complete baseline player, without major weaknesses in his tennis, but lacks the power in his shots and enough tennis arguments to defeat the Spaniard.
