Alcaraz Crushes Rublev in Qatar Open, Extends Perfect 2026 Run
Carlos Alcaraz has once again shown why he’s the world number one, powering past Andrey Rublev in straight sets to reach the Qatar Open final. In a match that lasted just 50 minutes, Alcaraz displayed a mix of precision, speed and mental toughness that continues to define his 2026 campaign. With this win, the 22-year-old Spaniard extends his unbeaten streak to 11 matches this season and has now reached the final in 12 of his last 13 tournaments—a level of consistency few in tennis history have achieved at such a young age.
Rublev, the defending champion, fought hard, climbing back from a 3-0 deficit in the second set and saving multiple match points. But Alcaraz remained composed, handling the pressure with the poise of a seasoned champion. Key moments included a brilliant forehand down the sideline to claim the first set and crucial breaks in the second, eventually converting his sixth match point to seal the victory. Rublev’s frustration was clear, smashing his racket after missed opportunities, but Alcaraz’s focus never wavered.
