2026 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season

During the December preseason, Alcaraz parted ways with longtime coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.^[4]

Alcaraz began his 2026 season at the Australian Open. He reached the semifinals without dropping a single set.^[5] In the semifinal against Alexander Zverev, he won the first two sets before struggling due to cramps. After dropping the third and fourth sets in a pair of tiebreaks, he resurged to win the decider. At 5 hours and 27 minutes, this was the longest Australian Open semifinal and third-longest overall match in tournament history.^[6] Alcaraz became the youngest man in the Open Era to reach the final of all four majors, breaking the record set by Jim Courier in 1993.^[7] Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the final to clinch his first Australian Open title, becoming the youngest man in history to complete a Career Grand Slam at 22 years, 272 days old.^[8] He also became the youngest man in the Open Era to win seven major singles titles.^[9]

Alcaraz then withdrew from the Rotterdam Open, where he was defending champion, citing tiredness.^[10]

Alcaraz resumed his season at the Qatar Open. He dropped just one set, to Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinal, on his way to the final.^[11] In the final, he defeated Arthur Fils in 50 minutes, the fastest completed match of his career to date, to claim his second title of the year.^[12]

Alcaraz then returned to Indian Wells. With his quarterfinal victory against Cameron Norrie, he became the third and youngest man to reach five consecutive Indian Wells semifinals after Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.^[13] This was also Alcaraz's 34th consecutive win on outdoor hardcourt – the third longest-such streak in the Open Era, tied with Pete Sampras, behind Roger Federer (46) and Jimmy Connors (55) respectively.^[14] In the semifinal, he met Daniil Medvedev for a rematch of the 2023 and 2024 finals. Despite being the heavy favorite, Alcaraz lost in straight sets.^[15]

At the Miami Open, Alcaraz defeated João Fonseca in their first career meeting before being upset by Sebastian Korda in the third round.^[16]

Alcaraz dropped just one set, to Tomás Martín Etcheverry, on the way to the final of the Monte Carlo Masters. He lost the match and the world No. 1 ranking to rival Jannik Sinner in their first match of the season.^[17]

A few days later, Alcaraz played his first match at the Barcelona Open. Towards the end of the first set he received a medical timeout to treat his forearm.^[18] While he won the match comfortably in straight sets, Alcaraz announced his withdrawal from the tournament soon afterwards, citing an unspecified wrist injury.^[19]

Later that week, Alcaraz also withdrew from the Madrid Open to continue his recovery.^[20]
