«Beating Sinner Changed Everything»: Djokovic Opens Up on 25th Grand Slam Dream
At 39, Novak Djokovic Isn't Done Yet: Why His Australian Open Win Over Sinner Keeps the 25th Grand Slam Dream Alive
Will Novak Djokovic win a 25th Grand Slam title? That's the question on every tennis fan's mind.
At 39, the Serb seems to be fighting against time. After several Grand Slam final losses to the new generation, many believe the window is slowly closing.
Yet his victory over Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open, which earned him a spot in the final, along with Carlos Alcaraz's absence at Wimbledon this year, has reignited hopes. And the first to believe it remains Novak Djokovic himself.
« Beating Sinner in Australia Changed Everything »
« Yes, that was "the win" of 2026 for me, without a doubt. You know, beating the two-time defending champion Jannik (Sinner) in Australia, after having a negative streak of four or five straight losses.
It was epic, honestly, over four and a half hours, a five-set match. It proved to me above all, more than anyone else, that I can still push, especially players like Sinner and Alcaraz, on the biggest stage to win five sets.
So it was actually another boost for me, and another motivation, I suppose, to continue, to keep working and to believe that I could get my hands on at least one more Grand Slam trophy. »
Qualified for the third round after his win over Stefanos Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a 25th major title against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
