Carlos Alcaraz beat Alex de Minaur 6-1, 6-4 to win the ​Vienna Open on Sunday, claiming his fourth ‌title of the season and the ​28th of his career, and ⁠extending his ATP 500 winning streak to 26 matches.

The 23-year-old Spaniard arrived in Vienna on ‌the back of titles in Doha and Tokyo and completed a ‌perfect 16-0 record at ATP 500 ‌events ⁠in 2026, capping another dominant ⁠week without dropping a set across his five matches.

Alcaraz seized control from the opening stages, breaking De ​Minaur’s serve in ‌the first game and quickly establishing a double-break advantage as the Australian struggled to contain the world number two’s ‌intensity.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion raced ​through the opening set 6-1, repeatedly punishing short balls and forcing ⁠errors from De Minaur.

Although the 27-year-old Australian put up greater resistance in the second ‌set and kept pace for long spells, Alcaraz delivered a high-quality all-court performance to close out victory in 97 minutes and secure his seventh consecutive win over De Minaur.

De ⁠Minaur, meanwhile, will turn his attention to Paris as he continues ‌his push to qualify for the ATP Finals for a third consecutive year.
