Happy February 2026 to Carlos Alcaraz and his coaching team. Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets to win his first Australian Open title today. Carlos Alcaraz won his seventh major Grand Slam title today. With this impressive victory in Melbourne, Alcaraz completed the career grand slam. He is the youngest person at 22 years, 272 days to complete the career Grand Slam on the ATP tour. In contrast, Novak Djokovic was trying to win his 11th grand slam title in Melbourne as he beat Jannik Sinner in a great five set semifinal a few days ago. Djokovic has won ten titles in Melbourne. He is no longer undefeated in finals in Melbourne. Yet, Novak is the greatest tennis player of all time. Rafael Nadal was in attendance to watch the incredible battle between Carlos and Novak. In close to four months, Jannik Sinner can complete his career grand slam in Men's Tennis. He has to win his first French Open final to complete the career grand slam. Alexander Zverev has not ever won a grand slam title. He lost in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open 2026 semifinals. The Alcaraz vs. Zverev semifinal match lasted 327 minutes. During the match, Alcaraz had vomited from exhaustion. Zverev served for the match in the fifth set, but Carlos Alcaraz won the final three games of the match. He broke Zverev's serve twice to secure his spot in the 2026 Australian Open men's final. On the women's side, Elena Rybakina won her first title in Melbourne as she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three grueling sets. Sabalenka was leading in the third set by three games to love, yet she wasted away the next five games. Sabalenka has a winning percentage of less than .600 in women's finals in all her tournament final appearances on the WTA Tour. Sabalenka and Rybakina split the opening sets in the 2026 Australian Open women's final, yet Rybakina persevered in the end. Elena won her second career grand slam title, in addition to her 2022 Wimbledon trophy. In closing, the ATP and WTA tours will leave Australia and New Zealand now. Enjoy the picture above of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Melbourne is 18 hours ahead of mountain standard time in the USA. Will Novak Djokovic get his 25th career grand slam title in Paris (or Wimbledon or US Open) this year? Novak showed his determination to keep playing, and he could play through 2026 and 2027. Good day and Good night from sunny Arizona!
