Overcoming Djokovic, Alcaraz wins his first Australian Open title

(Tennis results) - Carlos Alcaraz impressively overcame Novak Djokovic to officially secure all 4 Grand Slam trophies in his career.

Carlos Alcaraz officially claimed the 2026 Australian Open championship after a 3-1 victory (2-6; 6-2; 6-3; 7-5) over Novak Djokovic in the final that ended on the evening of February 1st Vietnam time.

Alcaraz started the match very toughly as Djokovic played exceptionally well, reminiscent of his peak form from 10 years ago: outstanding serves, powerful backhand and forehand shots, showing no fear against the young opponent in long rallies.

However, from the second set onward, Alcaraz regained his best rhythm, defending excellently and leaving Djokovic helpless. Several times, the top seed denied Djokovic’s attempts to create highlights with his top-notch defense.

As the match progressed, endurance increasingly favored Carlitos, who made no mistakes to close out the final in four sets.

This is Alcaraz’s first Australian Open title, making him the youngest player in tennis history to complete the Career Grand Slam (winning all 4 majors). Conversely, Novak Djokovic missed the chance to claim his 25th Major and officially surpass the legend Margaret Court.

Final result, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 3-1 (2-6; 6-2; 6-3; 7-5) to win his first Australian Open, becoming the youngest player ever to complete the Career Grand Slam.
