By IANS News February 22, 2026 • 11:02 AM View: 118

Frenchman Arthur Fils: Carlos Alcaraz swept past resurgent Frenchman Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-1 in just 50 minutes to secure the Qatar Open trophy, just 20 days after becoming the youngest man in history to complete the Career Grand Slam at the Australian Open.

The title triumph marked Alcaraz’s ninth ATP 500 trophy, drawing him level with former World No. 1 Andy Murray for the fourth-highest tally in the category since its inception in 2009.

“I came this year hungry for more. I think after every tournament, we just have to set new goals. I’m just really happy and proud of everything I have done with my team on and off the court.
