Carlos Alcaraz warned on Friday that he was "hungry" to break his Australian Open title drought and become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam, calling it his primary target in 2026.

The 22-year-old Alcaraz, who begins his title assault against Australia's 79th-ranked Adam Walton, said he could not wait to get going.

"I'm just hungry for the title, hungry to do a really good result here. I'm just getting ready as much as I can. I'm really excited about the tournament beginning," he said.
