In 2026, Novak Djokovic will once again try to write one of the most beautiful pages in the history of tennis.
As in 2025,
Novak Djokovic will play a preparation tournament for the Australian Open. Last January, the Serb lined up in Brisbane. In two weeks he will be in Adelaide.
This year, the Belgrade native reached the final four of the four Grand Slam tournaments. A more than honorable record for a player who will be 39 next May. With the hegemony of the Carlos Alcaraz-Jannik Sinner duo, winning a new major title would now be practically a feat.
However, impossible is not Djokovic. “Novak loves challenges. Those around him say it too. I think the best people always find something that motivates them. I think Djokovic is now intrigued by the challenge of whether he can overcome time.”imagined journalist John Wertheim, during Andy Roddick’s podcast.
Djokovic, how will his body respond?
The former American player, however, is hardly optimistic.
“He said he didn’t know if his body would hold up.
He recognized it himself. That when he reaches a Grand Slam semi-final, he doesn’t know if he can win if his body is already exhausted.”explained the winner of the 2023 US Open.
Since the 2023 US Open, Novak Djokovic has not won a single Grand Slam tournament. Her counter therefore remains stuck at the number 24, like the Australian Margaret Smith Court.
