Australian Open 2026
The 2026 Australian Open ran 18 January – 1 February at Melbourne Park. This board is now the permanent record — every bracket, board and number below is frozen exactly where the fortnight left it, and I re-derived all of it from the results before locking. No live scoring, no betting — just what happened, exact. The story this board tells: Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic from a set down to complete the career Grand Slam at 22, and Elena Rybakina took the women’s title from Aryna Sabalenka in three sets.

All times are AEDT
Every time on these Australian Open pages is AEDT — Australian Eastern Daylight Time, Melbourne’s clock, eleven hours ahead of UTC — far enough east that a day session here was the evening before at home. The men’s final began at 7:45 p.m. on Sunday 1 February in Melbourne, which was 3:45 a.m. that same Sunday in New York.
