The four majors, all year round
Three majors, three different champions
2026 has spread the men’s majors around. Carlos Alcaraz opened the year by beating Novak Djokovic to win the Australian Open and complete the career Grand Slam at 22, before a wrist injury cost him Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. Alexander Zverev landed a maiden major in Paris, and Jannik Sinner defended his Wimbledon title to stay clear at world No. 1.
On the WTA Tour Aryna Sabalenka still leads the rankings, but the majors have gone three different ways: Elena Rybakina in Melbourne, Mirra Andreeva in Paris and Linda Nosková at Wimbledon, where she beat Karolína Muchová in the first all-Czech Grand Slam final.
