“Alcaraz... winning the Australian Open at the start of the year (where he completed a career grand slam) after clinching both the French and US Opens in 2025.”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm Alcaraz won the French Open and the US Open in 2025, the evidence does not confirm that he won the Australian Open in 2025, nor does it confirm that this achievement completed a career Grand Slam in that year. The evidence mentions his 2025 performance but lacks confirmation of the Australian Open win to complete the set.

“The two superstars have pushed each other to new levels and have won between them every grand slam since the 2023 US Open.”
MISLEADING
The evidence confirms that Alcaraz and Sinner have dominated the recent Grand Slams, with one source noting that 'The past eight Grand Slams have been won by either the Italian or the Spaniard.' However, the claim specifies 'every Grand Slam since the 2023 US Open,' which is a specific, unverified count that cannot be confirmed as absolute fact across all sources.
