Carlos Alcaraz powered to a straight-set win over Alex de Minaur to win the Vienna Open and maintain his perfect record in ATP 500 events this year.
The Spanish second seed triumphed 6-1 6-4 in 87 minutes for his 16th straight win at that level in 2026.
Alcaraz has won 26 straight matches at ATP 500 events – a run that goes back to the 2025 Barcelona Open, where he lost to Holger Rune.
The 23-year-old’s run this year includes titles in Doha and Tokyo.
“I tried to be aggressive and show him that if he wants to win, he has to play better, more aggressive, more solid, and be smarter than me,” said Alcaraz.
“I’m just really happy that at the end I found my way, played great, and obviously it has been a really emotional and amazing week for me.”
