Also, Cristina Bucsa bids farewell in the early stages of the Emirati tournament, succumbing to Sonya Kartal by 6-3 7-6 (8).

Moise Kouamé is becoming one of the sensations of this early season. Still only 16 years old, this French tennis player who has long been talked about as the great raw diamond of the tennis world, has accumulated 12 wins and 0 losses in 2026, including his qualification for the final draw of the ATP 250 Montpellier 2026. After that, he went through the press conference. "It's not easy to handle all this mentally, I struggle to stay calm on the court, but I'm learning. I try to stay in my own bubble and I feel that everything I'm working on in training is starting to pay off," said a man who is being coached by Richard Gasquet.
"He knows what I'm feeling at this stage because he was there, at 16 he was competing at a professional level. He brings me a lot of serenity and mental experience, on and off the court," said a young man who will play his first professional match with Aleksandar Kovacevic. "I just want to test myself to identify my strengths and weaknesses," he said on Universtennis.

There has been no public congratulations from Juan Carlos Ferrero to Carlos Alcaraz for his title at the 2026 Australian Open, nor a direct mention from the player from Murcia to his former coach. The only thing that could be interpreted as a message from the one from Ontinyent to the one from Palmar is the official congratulations from his academy, first sent through Instagram and later expanded by X.
So amazing journey 🔥 So hard work! Congrats Carlitos! Many more things yet to come 🙌🫡 https://t.co/HsyANpptBf

It is worth highlighting what it means for a tennis player to interrupt her career to become a mother and then return to the elite of the world tennis circuit after giving birth. This is what Belinda Bencic and Elina Svitolina have done, two women who are currently in the top-10 of the WTA ranking after becoming mothers. This week marks the first time in history that something like this has occurred. The Swiss player is ranked 9th in the world, while the Ukrainian is 10th.

Carlos Alcaraz has managed to complete his own Career Grand Slam, and he did it in a very special way: by winning each of the tournaments in the first final he played in them. This speaks to the Murcian's innate ability to emotionally handle situations that have overwhelmed many other great tennis players throughout the history of this sport. In fact, only Serena Williams in the Open Era achieved this.

Toni Nadal closely follows the tennis news and provided an interesting analysis in ElPais on what happened in the 2026 Australian Open final, where Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious. He believes that the key to Alcaraz's response to Djokovic's strong first set was his ability to calm his game, reduce the power and intensity of his shots, and toughen up the match. Rafa's uncle thinks that Novak remains "an extraordinary competitor, a born fighter, and an exemplary athlete," but he sees how, at his age, it is difficult for him to recover from the efforts made. "This triumph by Carlos clearly indicates that he is already one of the best in history," concludes the Balearic.
