News from the Sports Desk/Monday 02 February,2026
The 2026 Australian Open has concluded at Melbourne Park, leaving us with a historic set of champions and a complete reshuffling of the record books. From a “Career Grand Slam” for the young superstar Alcaraz to a new queen of the hard courts, here is your comprehensive sports review of the tournament’s final results.
Men’s Singles: Alcaraz Completes the Set
Carlos Alcaraz has officially entered the pantheon of tennis legends. At just 22 years old, the world No. 1 defeated 10-time champion Novak Djokovic in a thrilling four-set final (2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5) to secure his first Australian Open title.
-
The Milestone: Alcaraz is now the youngest man to complete a Career Grand Slam, surpassing the previous record held by Rafael Nadal.
-
The Match: After a shaky first set where Djokovic looked vintage, Alcaraz adjusted his depth and aggression, grinding down the 38-year-old Serb over three hours of high-octane tennis.
-
The Aftermath: This victory marks Alcaraz’s seventh Grand Slam title. For Djokovic, it was a rare taste of defeat in a Melbourne final, where he previously held an undefeated 10-0 record.
Women’s Singles: Rybakina’s Ice-Cold Comeback
The women’s final was a heavy-hitting rematch of the 2023 title bout. This time, Elena Rybakina emerged victorious, upsetting the world No. 1 and two-time champion Aryna Sabalenka (6-4, 4-6, 6-4).
-
Key Turning Point: Sabalenka appeared to have the match in hand with a 3-0 lead in the deciding set. However, Rybakina’s composure remained unshakable as she broke back twice to win five straight games and clinch her second major title.
-
History Made: Rybakina becomes the first Kazakhstani player to win an Australian Open singles title.
Doubles Update: New Kings and Familiar Queens
The doubles circuit provided plenty of drama, particularly for the local Australian crowds who saw their homegrown favorites fall just short in the finals.
Men’s Doubles
The unseeded American-British duo of Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski claimed the title, defeating Australian wildcards Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans in straight sets ($7-6, 6-4$).
-
This was a maiden Grand Slam title for Harrison and a second men’s doubles major for Skupski.
Women’s Doubles
Elise Mertens and Zhang Shuai proved too strong for the pairing of Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunić. The Belgian-Chinese duo rallied from an early deficit to win $7-6, 6-4$.
-
For Mertens, this marks her sixth Grand Slam doubles trophy, while Zhang adds a third to her collection.
Mixed Doubles
In a bright spot for the locals, Olivia Gadecki and John Peers successfully defended their title, defeating Kristina Mladenovic and Manuel Guinard in a match tie-break ($4-6, 6-3, [10-8]$). They are the first pair to defend a mixed doubles title at the Australian Open since 1989.
