Djokovic Sinner

In 2026, Jannik Sinner will attempt to achieve the three-peat at the Australian Open, a tournament where he is now the new boss.

This year, the Italian dominated the competition from head to toe, conceding only one set against Holger Rune in the round of 16. He then dismissed Alex de Minaur, Ben Shelton, and Alexander Zverev without flinching to lift his second consecutive trophy in Melbourne.

A feat only Djokovic has accomplished in the Open Era

If he were to triumph once again on Rod Laver Arena next season, the world No. 2 would become only the second player in the Open Era to win three consecutive titles at the Australian Open.

He would then join Novak Djokovic, who achieved two three-peats (2011–2013 and 2019-2021). For example, Roger Federer, despite being crowned six times, never managed this feat.
