Djokovic’s Australian Open 2026 campaign

 

At 38, Djokovic has arrived in Melbourne with a clear goal: capturing a record 25th Grand Slam singles title, which would further cement his status as the most decorated player in the sport’s history. While he reached the semifinals of all four majors last year, he did not make a final.

 

Djokovic admitted he has been “fortunate” to remain in the draw this time. In the quarterfinals, he trailed fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti 6–4, 6–3 before the Italian was forced to retire in the third set due to a right leg injury. That followed a walkover in the fourth round, meaning Djokovic has not completed a full match since the third round.

 

Sinner eager to rise to the challenge

 

Sinner, too, has had moments of good fortune. The Italian was close to a third-round exit when he struggled physically while trailing by a break against world number 85 Eliot Spizzirri. A delay caused by the Extreme Heat Policy, which led to the roof being closed, proved a turning point and allowed him to regain control.

 

The 24-year-old arrives at the semifinal riding a 19-match winning streak at Melbourne Park, having produced a commanding 6–3, 6–4, 6–4 quarterfinal victory over eighth seed Ben Shelton.

 

Sinner holds a 6–4 advantage in his head-to-head record against Djokovic, including wins in their last five encounters. That run features semifinal victories at the 2024 Australian Open and at Roland Garros and Wimbledon last year. His semifinal win over Djokovic in Melbourne two years ago marked a key step towards claiming the first of his four Grand Slam titles.
