00:04World number one Carlos Alcaraz is still perfect in 2026.
00:08The 22-year-old Spaniard stays undefeated after beating Francis Artur Feast in straight sets 6-2, 6-1
00:14to capture the Qatar Open title here in Doha.
00:18Another trophy, another statement performance.
00:21The win pushes Alcaraz to 12-0 on the year,
00:24adding to the momentum he built after lifting the Australian Open title just last month.
00:28I think the final is where you have to show your best level.
00:34Obviously, I think Artur started the match, making a lot of mistakes,
00:38that gave me the confidence to play relaxed and to play calm.
00:43So I think he let me dominate the game, dominate every point.
00:50I was almost in a good position every time.
00:53As for Feast, this was still a breakthrough week for the 21-year-old.
00:57He turned plenty of heads in Doha, especially when he stunned 16-ranked Jakob Mensik in the semis,
01:04just eight months after suffering a stress fracture in his back at last year's French Open.
01:09I won four matches in a row. It's pretty good.
01:11Of course, today Carlos was on another level, playing way better than me.
01:16And so he deserved completely the win in the whole tournament.
01:20And I mean, that's why he's number one in the world now.
01:22The Qatar Open is one of just two ATP tour stops in the Middle East.
01:26The second gets underway in Dubai on Monday.
