The four majors, all year round
Four majors, three champions on each tour
2026 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 added the US Open in September, and Jannik Sinner defended his Wimbledon title to stay clear at world No. 1. He has not played since, and announced in October that a knee injury had ended his season.
On the WTA Tour Elena Rybakina finished the majors as world No. 1, having beaten Aryna Sabalenka in both the Australian Open and US Open finals. Mirra Andreeva won in Paris and Linda Nosková at Wimbledon, where she beat Karolína Muchová in the first all-Czech Grand Slam final.
