Carlos Alcaraz’s upcoming schedule has been confirmed after he won his 26th career title at the Qatar Open.
ATP number one Alcaraz defeated Arthur Fils in the final in Doha after just 50 minutes, winning their meeting 6-2, 6-1.
The Spaniard was playing just his second tournament of the 2026 season at the Qatar Open, having also clinched the Australian Open title.
Alcaraz completed the career Grand Slam in Melbourne at the start of the year, with more success now being chased at his next seven tournaments.

Carlos Alcaraz’s next seven tournaments after Doha title
Alcaraz is set to play at Indian Wells next, followed by the Miami Open, with the back-to-back ATP Masters 1000 events both taking place in March.
He will then play two more ATP Masters 1000 tournaments in Monte Carlo and Madrid, either side of an ATP 500 in Barcelona.
Yet another ATP Masters 1000 event is on the cards in Rome, with Alcaraz then set to turn his attention to the French Open.
All of the tournaments arrive before mid-June, at which point the grass court season will get underway on the ATP Tour.

Carlos Alcaraz makes his ATP ambitions clear
Of course, injury and fatigue may prevent Alcaraz from fulfilling his commitments, but for now he’s certainly got a very busy schedule.
He has, however, been smart with his choices, with Alcaraz having been critical of the calendar in recent times.
Now he’s taking matters into his own hands, and is clearly prioritising the biggest tournaments, as well as those he clearly loves to play in or feels are important to do so.

The 22-year-old is also playing tournaments that he boasts a great chance of success at, although that can arguably be said of any event right now given his form.
Alcaraz already boasts Grand Slam titles on hard, grass and clay courts, proving he has the game to take on any surface.
Will Carlos Alcaraz win the Calendar Slam in 2026?
If not, which Grand Slam is he going to fail to win?
That is a very worrying situation for the other players on the ATP Tour, along with the fact that the world number one will be well rested and fully recovered when he does take to the court given his carefully planned out schedule.
It is certainly busy, but importantly he does have time either side of the tournaments to enjoy some downtime.
And while it seems increasingly unlikely given Alcaraz’s ATP dominance right now, there is no guarantee that he enjoys lengthy runs at every single event he plays in.
