Alcaraz Claims the Crown Again! Extends Outdoor Hard Court Winning Streak to 30 Matches

On February 21, 2026, tennis witnessed another pinnacle moment as world number one Carlos Alcaraz unleashed his full power in the Qatar Open final, sweeping past French player Fils 6-2, 6-1 in just 50 minutes to claim the Doha title. This victory extended his 2026 season winning streak to 12 matches and pushed his outdoor hard court unbeaten run to an astonishing 30 matches.

Just 20 days ago, the 22-year-old Spanish rising star was crowned at the Australian Open, becoming the youngest male player in history to complete a career Grand Slam. In just twenty days, Alcaraz maintained his hot form, demonstrating absolute dominance at the ATP 500 Doha event. Throughout the match, he controlled the pace firmly, attacking sharply and defending swiftly; even as his opponent Fils raised his level to engage in baseline battles, he couldn’t challenge Alcaraz’s superiority.

This title marked Alcaraz’s 26th career tour victory and his 9th ATP 500 championship, tying former world number one Andy Murray. He now ranks fourth in most ATP 500 titles since the tournament’s inception in 2009, standing alongside legends like Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.

For Fils, returning from injury, this Doha journey was equally significant. It was his first tour final since the 2024 Tokyo event, and thanks to his impressive performance, his ATP ranking surged 7 places to number 33, gradually overcoming the setbacks caused by injury.

After the match, Alcaraz admitted that he enters the new season full of ambition, setting new goals for every tournament. The support from his team helps him maintain peak condition both on and off the court. This Doha trophy not only confirms his recent form but also lays a perfect foundation for his 2026 season.

From completing a career Grand Slam to conquering Doha, from a 12-match season winning streak to 30 consecutive wins on outdoor hard courts, the young Alcaraz is writing his own era with his talent. Unstoppable, he will undoubtedly continue breaking records and creating more tennis legends in the future.
