Alcaraz Slams Djokovic, Completes Historic Grand Slam!

Carlos Alcaraz secured a historic victory at the Australian Open on Sunday, February 1, 2026, defeating Novak Djokovic in four sets and becoming the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. The 22-year-old Spaniard achieved this milestone at the age of 22 years and 272 days, marking his maiden title in Melbourne, according to Sky News.

Alcaraz's win prevented Djokovic from claiming an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam singles title. The victory was particularly significant as it broke a record that was set in 1938, Sky News reported.

In other news, Qatar is intensifying its diplomatic efforts to mediate the escalating tensions between Iran and the West, Euronews reported. Doha is working closely with Egypt and Turkey to maintain open diplomatic channels. Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani met with Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, in Tehran on Saturday, according to Euronews. These talks focused on preventing a wider regional escalation amidst heightened rhetoric from Tehran.

Despite concerns about a potential U.S. military strike against Iran, no major action occurred early Sunday, Euronews reported. Several explosions were reported in Iranian cities, including a significant one in Bandar Abbas, a southern port city. Reports suggested the explosion impacted an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility, according to Euronews. The situation remains uncertain, with ongoing diplomacy and rumors circulating, including speculation about possible uranium transfers to Turkey and a substantial U.S. naval presence in the region, according to Babak Kamiar writing for Euronews.

Meanwhile, Amazon's documentary "Melania," about former First Lady Melania Trump, exceeded box office expectations, earning an estimated $7.04 million on its opening weekend, TechCrunch reported. The documentary ranked third overall for the weekend, trailing "Send Help" ($20 million) and "Iron Lung" ($17.8 million). Amazon acquired "Melania" for $40 million and is reportedly spending $35 million on promotion. Despite the strong opening, TechCrunch noted that the film is unlikely to turn a profit in theaters.
