MELBOURNE, Feb 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Carlos Alcaraz won the third set of the Australian Open final 6-3 against Novak Djokovic on Sunday to lead 2-1 and move one set from the title.

The 22-year-old Spanish world number one is attempting to become the youngest man in history to win the career Grand Slam of all four majors, having previously won the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.

Djokovic won the first set 6-2, only for Alcaraz to roar back and level by the same scoreline.
