Alcaraz Battles Past Paul To Book Australian Open QF Spot

By IANS News January 25, 2026 • 11:56 AM View: 187

Australian Open QF: World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz overcame the stern test of Tommy Paul to maintain his commanding start and reach his third consecutive Australian Open quarterfinal here on Sunday.

Alcaraz registered a 7-6(6), 6-4, 7-5 win over 19th seed Paul in two hours and 44 minutes to maintain his commanding start to the hard-court major in Melbourne.

At just 22 years old, Alcaraz is a six-time major champion and is chasing more history. Should he claim his maiden Australian Open title, Alcaraz would complete his Career Grand Slam and become the youngest player to achieve that feat. The current holder of that record is his countryman Rafael Nadal.
