This bracket is the Australian Open 2026, played on hard courts in Melbourne from 12 Jan to 1 Feb 2026, with 128 players entered and everyone starting in the first round.
Carlos Alcaraz won 7 matches to take the 2026 title, beating Alex De Minaur, Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic over the closing rounds.
Novak Djokovic came the same distance on the other half of the sheet, 6 wins before the final, which finished 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.
14 of the matches above carry a full score here: 9 finished in straight sets and 2 went to a fifth. The hardest of them was Carlos Alcaraz against Alexander Zverev, 5 sets in the semifinal. Every one of the 127 matches is best of five, so a bad start at the Australian Open costs hours rather than minutes.

The rest of the hard court, start of season
Within the same weeks and on the same surface: Qatar Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Indian Wells Open and Miami Open, where a player in form tends to go deep more than once.
