Their dominance at Majors has opened the door for a Career Grand Slam in the first half of 2026, not one but two!

This year they swapped trophies in London and New York, with Jannik dethroning Carlos at Wimbledon and the Spaniard mirroring that at the US Open. Before 2026, they will both own three of the four major trophies.
In a rare and unique scenario, they could complete the quartet of our sport’s most notable titles in the first six months of the new season. Coco Wandeweghe supports them in pursuing history.
Although he mentions no rivals and no chance for anyone to spoil their party, the American would like to see more twists and turns in the opening months of the new season. They would bring the ultimate tennis history to the table.
Carlos needs to win the Australian Open to become the youngest owner of a Career Grand Slam at the age of 22. The Spaniard has yet to reach the quarter-finals in Melbourne, which remains his weakest Major.
On the other hand, Jannik will travel Down Under as two-time defending champion and favorite after his run at the end of 2025. Imagine what the stakes of the Rod Laver Arena final would be between them!
Sinner, meanwhile, arrives in Paris with unfinished business after a devastating loss in June. The Italian has proven his class in the French capital and will make another attempt at tennis glory this spring.
His ultimate target during that quest? The two-time champion, Alcaraz. For Vandeweghe, the idea of both players adding new chapters to their rivalry during the first two Majors of the season feels inevitable.
It remains to be seen who would hold up under that immense pressure and bring home the wins. There will be a chance for their first match in Melbourne in a month’s time.
The way they have been playing lately, it will be hard to see anyone stopping them from reaching their fourth Major final in a row!
“I don’t understand why Carlos and Jannik couldn’t both achieve a Career Grand Slam next year! It would be interesting to see the two rivals swap roles at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, as they did at Wimbledon and the US Open this year,” said Coco Vandeweghe.
