Carlos Alcaraz knows what matters the most to him in 2026 and isn’t shy about telling the world: He wants to win the Australian Open to complete a career Grand Slam.

The Australian Open will offer a record A$111.5 million ($74.73 million) in prize money this year and while players welcomed the increase, top names like Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka said the push for a bigger payout must continue across the Grand Slams.

The Australian Open 2026 returns for its 114th edition at Melbourne Park, with Alcaraz, Djokovic, Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff, and rising teens set to battle in an unpredictable, high-stakes Grand Slam.
