A Crazy Concept

The One Point Slam returns on January 14, 2026 with a completely unprecedented dimension.

The principle remains the same: 48 players, pros, amateurs, celebrities... and only one point to survive. No second chance.

The reward? 1 million Australian dollars (570,200 euros), for a single rally.

An XXL Cast

And this year, the show promises to be total, carried by an XXL cast:

- Carlos Alcaraz, world number one

- Jannik Sinner, two-time defending Australian Open champion

- Nick Kyrgios, crowd superstar

Note that in 2025, Andrey Rublev, the only top 10 player present, was eliminated.

An Edition Preceding a Crucial Tournament for Alcaraz, Sinner, and Kyrgios

If the event generates such excitement, it's also because it falls at a pivotal moment for each of the three favorites.

Alcaraz: The Melbourne Obsession

The world number one is targeting the missing piece of his collection:

The Australian Open, the only Grand Slam that still eludes him.
Never beyond the quarterfinals, he hopes to start 2026 under the best auspices.

Sinner: The Reign in Danger

Two-time defending champion in Melbourne, Sinner wants more: the historic triple.

He will face Félix Auger-Aliassime on January 16, right after the One Point Slam, in a meticulously planned preparation.

Kyrgios: The Return of an Injured Showman

After a 2025 marked by injuries (wrist, knee) and an early exit in his only Grand Slam appearance, Kyrgios aims to make a comeback.

A Format That Creates Heroes in an Instant

The format is dreamy, but above all: it can propel an unknown to the top or bring down a star in a minute.

In 2025, it was Australian Omar Jasika (27 years old and world number 179 at the time) who surprised everyone by taking the prize.
