The 2026 Carlos Alcaraz tennis season will officially begin on 18 January 2026, with the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne.^[2][3]

During this season, Alcaraz:

• Held the world No. 1 ranking for a career total of 57 weeks (as of 2 February 2026)
• Became the youngest man in the Open Era to reach the final of all four majors
• Won his first title at the Australian Open, and seventh major title overall
• Became the youngest man in history to achieve the Career Grand Slam

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 maiden Australian Open title, becoming the youngest man in history to complete a Career Grand Slam at 22 years, 272 days.^[8] He also became the youngest man in the Open Era to win seven major singles titles.^[9]
