lose a match so far in 2026 and he will look to continue his unbeaten run at the Indian Wells Open, but even if he ends up winning the title, he will still be well short of Novak Djokovic\u2019s incredible record.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 1 is on a 12-match winning streak after he won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/carlos-alcaraz-sends-room-improvement-warning-rivals-details-2026-domination-plan\">Australian Open and Qatar Open<\/a>, and he can take his tally to 18 with another title run at the first leg of the Sunshine Double in California.<\/p>\n<p>But that would still leave him well adrift of Djokovic\u2019s milestone as he won 41 matches in a row at the start of the 2011 season with the tennis great lifting trophies at the Australian Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, Serbia Open, Madrid Open and Italian Open with his run eventually ending in the semi-final of the French Open.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic also sits second on the all-time list as he won 26 consecutive matches at the start of the 2020 season, while Rafael Nadal won 20 in a row at the beginning of the 2022 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the record, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> said: \u201cObviously I know that 41, Novak holds the record. I\u2019m gonna say you don\u2019t realise how difficult it is until you, I\u2019m gonna say, you\u2019re chasing that, because, you know, all right, 41, it\u2019s not that much, but then you\u2019re like 12 on, it\u2019s like, s***, it\u2019s like four or five more tournaments, the biggest tournaments in the world (smiling).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou realise and you feel like how impressive it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am just really proud of my start of the year. Hopefully the winning streak continues or I would try that, but I\u2019m just happy to see myself playing great tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Alcaraz News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/tim-henman-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-dominance-problem-not-appealing\">Tim Henman suggests Carlos Alcaraz &amp; Jannik Sinner\u2019s dominance could become \u2018unappealing\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/indian-wells-draw-carlos-alcaraz-novak-djokovic-jannik-sinner\">Indian Wells draw: Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner learn their fate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One thing is certain, though, Alcaraz seems to be in a happy space this year and he feels key to his incredible run of form is his ability to keep calm when things are not going his way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think on the court I just I control my emotions even better.
