2026-Who will take each slam home

The 2025 tennis season is coming to an end. It has been a very one-sided—or rather, two-sided—affair, dominated by just two players: Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. All four Slams have been won by these two, and three out of the four finals have been Sincaraz finals.

Apart from these two, a few other players have also shown grit, such as Taylor Fritz, Novak Djokovic, and more recently Valentino Vacherot, who even won a Masters title.

As the 2025 season comes to an end, we look forward to the new 2026 season, with four Slams that are sure to be filled with excitement and intensity. But who do I think will win them? Well, let’s dive in:

Australian Open: Alcaraz or Sinner

Yes, that’s all anyone can talk about—and I’ll say it too. Alcaraz’s serve at the US Open was incredible, and if he serves like that next year, the Australian Open could be his. However, Sinner has been almost unbeatable for the past two years, and as a hard-court expert, he definitely has an advantage.

French Open: Alcaraz

Yes, again—Carlos Alcaraz. This year he was phenomenal on clay, winning the French Open, the Italian Open, and reaching the Barcelona final. He even defended—not one, not two, but three championship points in the Roland Garros final against Sinner, coming back from two sets down while Sinner was serving for the championship. That showed incredible grit and determination.

Wimbledon: Sinner, Alcaraz, or Fritz

Both Sinner and Alcaraz have roughly equal chances, while Fritz has about a 28% chance. This year, Sinner triumphed, but not without struggles—he dropped two sets in the fourth round to Dimitrov before advancing only because Dimitrov got injured, and in the final he lost the opening set before winning the next three. Alcaraz also played brilliantly throughout, losing only in the final, and he didn’t even seem to be at his physical peak. Fritz also showed promise, reaching the semifinals and nearly pushing Alcaraz to the brink before Alcaraz came back to take the win. He will be even closer next year.

US Open: Not Alcaraz

The US Open has a reputation for surprises, upsets, and constantly changing champions. The last successful title defense was in 2008 by none other than Roger Federer. The US Open champion changes like electrons orbiting an atom, and if the pattern continues, we’ll see a new champion in 2026. This will likely be Sinner, considering his form and hard-court ability—but then again, the US Open also has a history of producing random first-time winners, so be prepared for a surprise.
