Carlos Alcaraz captured his maiden Australian Open title at Melbourne Park 2026, overcoming Serbian champion Novak Djokovic in an intense final. The Spanish sensation, who had never advanced past the quarterfinals in Melbourne, claimed his seventh Grand Slam crown and consolidated his position as the world’s top-ranked player with 13,650 ranking points.
Djokovic’s Remarkable Comeback
Djokovic’s journey to the Australian Open final proved particularly impressive, especially considering his recent form. The 38-year-old Serbian legend defeated Jannik Sinner on the Rod Laver Arena before ultimately falling to Alcaraz. This deep run at Melbourne Park earned Djokovic a return to the top three rankings, securing the third position with 5,280 points after his exceptional performance.
