Carlos Alcaraz keen to break Australian Open duck
Carlos Alcaraz would rather win his first Australian Open than retain his French Open and US Open titles next year, the Spaniard said late on Friday, a day after sealing the year-end world number one ranking at the ATP Finals. The 22-year-old, speaking on Spanish midnight sports radio show El Partidazo de Cope, said lifting the trophy at Melbourne Park has become a priority, with quarter-finals in 2024 and 2025 his deepest runs at the season’s first major. “In 2026 I’d rather win Australia alone than win two repeated Grand Slams,” Alcaraz said. “I’m far from being the best player in tennis or overall, because there are still many players who can beat me and I’ve lost to many players.

The six-times Grand Slam champion added that surpassing Djokovic’s men’s Grand Slam record was a long-term ambition. “I’d sign for 23 Grand Slams without thinking twice, right now.
