“I don’t think before a tournament you will think that you will win 10 matches. You always try to win the next one. It just kept going and I won 17 out of 18 sets here. I’m just really happy,” Rodesch said.

Alcaraz, 22, became the youngest player to complete the Career Grand Slam on Sunday at the Australian Open, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets. The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, a seven-time major champion, participated in a photoshoot at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne to celebrate on Monday.
Alcaraz has now won 15 Big Titles – a combination of Grand Slam championships, trophies at the Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and Olympic singles gold medals.
[NEWSLETTER FORM]Every major champion has their rituals, but Carlos Alcaraz might have the coolest one. For the Spaniard, trophies don’t just go on the shelf, they go under the skin. Wimbledon brought a strawberry, Roland Garros an Eiffel Tower and the US Open a bold design featuring the Statue of Liberty.
Now, having triumphed at the Australian Open to complete the Career Grand Slam, what tattoo will join the growing gallery?
“I’ve said it’s going to be a kangaroo, for sure, a little kangaroo,” Alcaraz said after he defeated Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final.
The only mystery left is placement. The leg is locked in, but right or left? That’s still under debate, with the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings joking that he has some time to decide.
“I don’t know where it’s going to be,” Alcaraz said. “It’s going to be in the leg, for sure. I don’t know the right, the left one. I have got to choose a good spot, but it’s going to be for sure close to the French Open or Wimbledon. I just have to choose.”
[NO 1 CLUB]Alcaraz has now captured seven majors and 15 Big Titles – a combination of Grand Slam championships, trophies at the Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and Olympic singles gold medals. Rival Sinner has 11. Alcaraz remains at No. 1 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings following his run, 3,350 points clear of 2024 and 2025 Australian Open champion Sinner.
The Spaniard will leave Melbourne shortly, but before departing, the 22-year-old took part in a fun photoshoot on Monday at the Royal Exhibition Building, posing with the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup.

Entering this year’s Australian Open, the 22-year-old had one clear aim: to complete the Career Grand Slam. Having already triumphed on two occasions at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings was determined to complete the historic set in Melbourne.
Alcaraz did not drop a set en route to the last four, before he rallied from 3-5 down in the fifth set against Alexander Zverev to win the longest semi-final in tournament history (five hours, 27 minutes). Alcaraz then overcame 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the final to lift his seventh major and first in Australia.

It was the first time Djokovic had lost an Australian Open final, having previously held a perfect 10-0 record. With victory, Alcaraz levelled the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series at 5-5 and has defeated Djokovic in all three major finals they have played.
The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Alcaraz is next scheduled to play at the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, which starts on Monday 9 February.
[NEWSLETTER FORM]Carlos Alcaraz made history in Melbourne, where he completed the Career Grand Slam at the Australian Open. While the 22-year-old Spaniard lifted the trophy, other stars enjoyed runs to rise in the PIF ATP Rankings. ATPTour.com looks at the movers of the week as of Monday 2 February.
No. 3 Novak Djokovic, +1
The Serbian reached his 38th major final at the Australian Open but fell just short of clinching a record-extending 25th Slam and 11th in Melbourne. Djokovic defeated Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals to return to a Slam final for the first time since Wimbledon 2024, when he also lost to Alcaraz. It is the first time the 38-year-old is inside the Top 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings since August 2024.
No. 24 Learner Tien, +5 (Career High)
The 20-year-old has climbed to a career high after he became the youngest American man to reach the quarter-finals of a major since 2002. The American earned an impressive straight sets win against Daniil Medvedev, improving to 3-1 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series. Tien ended 2025 in style when he lifted the Next Gen ATP Finals crown.
No. 54 Tomas Martin Etcheverry, +8
The Argentine is up eight spots following a productive week at the Australian Open. The 26-year-old earned two wins, including a five-set triumph against Miomir Kecmanovic, before he was stopped by Alexander Bublik.
No. 61 Marin Cilic, +9
The 37-year-old Croatian demonstrated that he is still a force to be reckoned with after a third-round showing in Melbourne. The 2018 finalist did not drop a set against Denis Shapovalov or Daniel Altmaier. Stan Wawrinka, 40, also performed impressively in Australia, becoming the oldest man to reach the third round since Ken Rosewall. The Swiss star is up 26 places to No. 113 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
No. 68 Ethan Quinn, +12
Quinn has jumped 12 places. The 21-year-old American beat seed Tallon Griekspoor and Hubert Hurkacz to advance to the third round at a major for the second time (Roland Garros 2025).
Other Notable Top 100 Movers
No. 7 Taylor Fritz, +2
No. 19 Francisco Cerundolo, +2
No. 27 Valentin Vacherot, +4 (Career High)
No. 30 Frances Tiafoe, +4

No. 80 Hamad Medjedovic, +10

A 14-time ATP Tour champion, Ruud spoke to ATPTour.com last month about his excitement at becoming a father for the first time.
“It’s really exciting. It’s something we’ve been looking forward to now for half a year, so time is running and it’s going to be a new chapter for us,” said Ruud. “[It will be] a new way of life on Tour and I very much look forward to it, knowing how close I’ve been with my own family and my father and also my mother.
“I look forward to hopefully becoming a good parent myself. Even though this life requires a lot of time, a lot of energy and a lot of travel and these things, I look forward to trying to be there as much as I can and when I have downtime — time off from the court — I will spend it where I want to go with my future daughter.”
[NEWSLETTER FORM]Four survivors of the same dangerous man join forces to finally bring him to justice.
Lorenzo Musetti announced on social media Sunday that he will not be competing in the IEB+ Argentina Open in Buenos Aires or the Rio Open presented by Claro.
“After the results of my medical examinations and tests, my team and I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the upcoming tournaments in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro,” Musetti wrote on Instagram. “My focus right now is on my rehabilitation so I can return to the court. Thank you to everyone for their support and hope to see you soon.”

The Italian star was enjoying a deep run at the Australian Open, where he led 10-time champion Novak Djokovic two sets to none in the quarter-finals. However, he struggled with an upper-right leg injury and retired in the middle of the third set.
Entering the fortnight, the No. 5 player in the PIF ATP Rankings had never advanced past the third round of the Australian Open. But after reaching the final in Hong Kong and the last eight in Melbourne, he owns a 7-2 record for the season according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
The IEB+ Argentina Open is an ATP 250 event that begins on 9 February, and the Rio Open presented by Claro is an ATP 500 tournament that starts on 16 February.
