The Spaniard enjoyed his best year in terms of grand slams in 2024, winning his first French Open title before successfully defending his Wimbledon crown by beating Novak Djokovic in July.

He has won four major titles in his career, having also won the US Open in 2022, but is yet to triumph at the Australian Open.

Alcaraz reached the quarter-final on his most recent attempt, his best finish in Melbourne, losing out to Alexander Zverev in four sets.

Only eight men have ever completed a career grand slam – Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic – while Alcaraz would be the youngest man to ever achieve the feat if he triumphs in January, overtaking Nadal.

"I am a very ambitious person, and I want to win the Australian Open to complete the career Grand Slam," said the world number three.
