On Sunday, February 1, the Rod Laver Arena will host the Grand Slam final between Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz and Serb legend Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open 2026.
At Melbourne Park, six-time Major winner Alcaraz hopes to deprive legend Djokovic of his record 25th Grand Slam victory. Although Djokovic is currently tied with tennis legend Margaret Court, who has won 24 titles in women's singles both before and after the Open Era started in 1968, Djokovic is already the most decorated player in the Open Era.
But after the Serb shocked two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner in the semifinal, Alcaraz will be his greatest challenge. As he aims to defeat Djokovic in the decisive match, the 23-year-old Spaniard also has history in mind.
Alcaraz will complete his career Grand Slam if he defeats Djokovic and wins his first Australian Open title. However, what exactly is a career Grand Slam? Look it over here.
When a player wins all four Majors in his career, it is known as a career Grand Slam. The Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open are the four majors. Alcaraz had never advanced to the Melbourne Park semifinals prior to this, despite currently winning the Roland Garros, SW19, and Flushing Meadows twice apiece.
Alcaraz will become the youngest player to win a career Grand Slam if he wins the Australian Open. As of right now, eight players have achieved the career Grand Slam. Let's review the list of players who have previously completed this task.
