Two steps away from glory, Jannik is two levels away from defending his crown. First, he faces the renewed Shelton; on the other side, Zverev and Djokovic will resolve a battle of titans.
The Serb opens up and points to those who doubt him all the time and the successes he achieves on the court. "This doesn't discourage me, it motivates me more," he says.

There are few people in the tennis world who know Novak Djokovic as well as Goran Ivanisevic. Because of this, his words in an official program of the 2025 Australian Open must be taken into account as he reveals aspects that explain the greatness of the Serbian player, and much more.
"He is a genius, a perfectionist who always wants to be at 100%. What is good today, is not tomorrow. I had to learn to always be alert, it was impressive to see how he took care of his body and prepared for each match. He is the one who has had the fewest injuries among the Big 3, and that is because of how he takes care of his body," he said before being asked if he believes Djokovic will win another Grand Slam. "Yes, of course he can. Sinner is the best in the world right now, but Novak is a lot of Novak. As long as he is on the court, I would always bet on him winning," he pointed out.
"Sinner is the favourite. He's the best player in the world at the moment. But, Novak is Novak."

Without mincing words, Alex de Minaur did not hesitate to speak out against a harsh criticism he received for his performance against Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open. Ranked number 8 in the world, he responded to a tweet on platform X from a user who said: "Alex De Minaur has no confidence that he can compete with Sinner, let alone beat him. Extremely poor performance." In the face of this comment, the Aussie used irony and composure to defend himself against this attack. "Hey mate, it's a shame that you never became a player good enough to play against Jannik. I'm sure you would have performed better and known exactly how to beat him. Wishing you all the best!," were the words chosen by De Minaur.
Hey mate it’s a shame that you never became a good enough player to experience playing Jannik. I’m sure you would’ve put up a better performance and know exactly how to beat him. Wishing you all the best!!!

Madison Keys has become the big surprise of this 2025 Australian Open by making her way to the semifinals of the tournament held in Melbourne. In addition to reaching the semis, the American ensures her return to the Top 10 of the WTA Ranking, just behind Paula Badosa in that virtual ranking that Madison could improve up to the seventh position if she wins the trophy in the final.
Jannik Sinner is immersed in an impressive winning streak, and there is a statistical fact that perfectly demonstrates his supremacy over his top-10 rivals. He has won 19 sets in a row against them, just one set away from matching Roger Federer's record set between 2006 and 2007. To surpass it, the Italian will have to reach the final and win the first two sets against his opponent, whether Djokovic or Zverev.
📊 The longest streaks of sets won against Top 10 members since 1990:

Jannik Sinner becomes the youngest player to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open for the second consecutive year at 23 years and 159 days, since Rafa Nadal achieved it in 2008-2009. The Italian, world number one, continues to show his great form and tennis skills on the courts of Melbourne, where he will strive to continue making history against Ben Shelton in those semifinals.

Lorenzo Sonego fell in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open against the great Ben Shelton. These were the words the Italian dedicated to his rival in the press conference: "He has changed a lot in these two years since we played in Paris. He has improved greatly with his serve and also with his forehand. Today he made no mistakes, he is a great player and currently has great confidence."
Francisco Cerúndolo will not be able to compete in the 2025 Davis Cup tie that will see Argentina face Norway, with the Europeans hosting, due to an injury he has been carrying in his Achilles heel. This poses a serious setback for the new captain, Javier Frana, who has chosen Facundo Díaz Acosta as a replacement.

Jannik Sinner easily defeated Alex De Miñaur in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open. These were the Italian's words on the court: "Today I felt the ball very well, you break early and the set becomes easier. He is a great competitor, thanks to the crowd for being so fair, it was a great atmosphere. We know each other very well, we have played against each other many times. I am very happy with my level. Yesterday I only trained for half an hour, my coaches gave me a good pace. Physically, when you are young, you recover very quickly. I tried to rest as much as possible."
I watched the match between Novak and Carlos. It was an incredible encounter. It's rare to see these matchups in the quarterfinals; they should be finals or semifinals. The rivalry between Carlos and Novak is the best we have in tennis right now. There were incredible exchanges, young players are coming up, we'll see if new rivalries emerge."
Ben Shelton broke a new personal record at the 2025 Australian Open by defeating Lorenzo Sonego in the quarterfinals and securing a spot in the semifinals in Melbourne. With this achievement, the American shares an interesting fact with Rafa Nadal. Since 1988, the Spanish and the American are the only two left-handed players to have reached the semifinals in both Grand Slams played on hard courts: the Australian Open and the US Open.

A notable controversy arose during the 2025 Australian Open on Tuesday when Kristina Mladenovic and her partner Zhang defeated Lyudmila Kichenok and Chan in the women's doubles. There were clashes throughout the match between the two pairs, and after the game, the Ukrainian refused to shake hands with the French player. Mladenovic further fueled the fire by accusing her opponents of unsportsmanlike conduct during the on-court discussion. The next day, Kichenok claimed her reason for not shaking hands with Mladenovic was due to constant threats received from her after being hit with a ball, despite Mladenovic's repeated apologies.

At the end of his usual press conference, Ben Shelton took a few minutes to share some words about the situation between Novak Djokovic and a Channel 9 presenter at this 2025 Australian Open who mocked the Serbian: "I have been a bit surprised this week by the way players have been treated by the media. I don't think the presenter who mocked Novak is an isolated case. I have seen it with different people, not just towards me. For example, with Learner Tien, when he beat Medvedev. I think his on-court interview was disrespectful and embarrassing.
There have been certain comments about me in those on-court interviews by a couple of people, saying that Monfils was old enough to be my father, maybe he is, or that it didn't matter who I played against, that no one would cheer for me. It may be true, but I don't think it's respectful coming from someone I don't know. I think broadcasters should help the sport grow, for us to enjoy a great moment. There is a lot of negativity, and I believe it's something that needs to change."

It happened very fast, I don't know if she noticed or not, but in the end, it's up to the chair umpire to call it. It's difficult to blame anyone, it was complicated. The rules should be different, we should be able to see the play afterwards and make a decision."

There are few people in the tennis world who know Novak Djokovic as well as Goran Ivanisevic. Because of this, his words in an official program of the 2025 Australian Open must be taken into account as he reveals aspects that explain the greatness of the Serbian player, and much more.
Novak Djokovic started with physical issues in the match but ended up finding a great level in all areas to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, earning a spot in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2025: "The first thing I want to say is that he has all my respect and admiration for all he represents and what he has achieved in his still short career. He has four Grand Slams, and I'm sure we will continue to see him, maybe not as much as I would like, that's for sure," he said jokingly. "I would love for today's match to be the final. I don't know if Sascha is still awake, if he is watching us, but it is one of the most epic matches I have ever played in my life. I don't want to talk much about my injury, but the medication started to work. I didn't know if I would continue in case of losing the second set. I saw that Carlos started to doubt from the baseline, and I started to feel better."
At the end of the first set, Novak Djokovic injured his left leg adductor, limiting his movement for that part of the match. He even went to the locker room for treatment and returned with his thigh bandaged. After a few minutes where it seemed like all was lost for him, the medication started to take effect and the Serbian was able to turn the match around from there. At the end of the battle, Djokovic made a confession that surprised many. "If I had lost the second set, I don't know if I would have continued playing." Carlos couldn't tighten the grip at those moments, he gave life to Nole, and the Belgrade native took advantage to complete an epic comeback.
Since the moment Novak Djokovic requested medical assistance in his match against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2025 Australian Open, numerous comments have sparked on social media by many fans, in different ways. Perhaps the most surprising is what John McEnroe said during the ESPN broadcast. "This isn't the first time we've seen this routine. Don't be fooled," stated the American.
Novak Djokovic continues to make history in tennis and in sports in general at 37 years old. The Serbian player defeated Carlos Alcaraz to secure his spot in the semifinals of the 2025 Australian Open, becoming the first player in the Open Era to reach 50 Grand Slam semifinals. Roger Federer is in second place with 46 and Rafael Nadal in third with 38.
It was expected that Nick Kyrgios would give his opinion on the words of an Australian journalist that have offended Novak Djokovic so much, but the humorous format chosen by the local tennis player to denounce the behavior of the man whose words outraged the Balkan tennis player has surprised. Genius and figure, Nick.
Novak Djokovic smiled as he faced the microphones at the 2025 Australian Open. In between questions, the Serbian, a semifinalist in Melbourne, looked towards his box where his children Stefan and Tara were still cheering him on despite the late hour: "I am surprised that my kids are still here on the court. I love you, thank you very much for supporting me, but it's 1 in the morning, when are you going to sleep tonight?"
Exciting day ahead on Tuesday, January 21st in the 2025 Australian Open. The day session kicks off with Paula Badosa and Coco Gauff on court, followed by Tommy Paul and Alexander Zverev.

Novak Djokovic started with physical issues in the match but ended up finding a great level in all areas to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, earning a spot in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2025: "The first thing I want to say is that he has all my respect and admiration for all he represents and what he has achieved in his still short career. He has four Grand Slams, and I'm sure we will continue to see him, maybe not as much as I would like, that's for sure," he said jokingly. "I would love for today's match to be the final. I don't know if Sascha is still awake, if he is watching us, but it is one of the most epic matches I have ever played in my life. I don't want to talk much about my injury, but the medication started to work. I didn't know if I would continue in case of losing the second set. I saw that Carlos started to doubt from the baseline, and I started to feel better."
Since the moment Novak Djokovic requested medical assistance in his match against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2025 Australian Open, numerous comments have sparked on social media by many fans, in different ways. Perhaps the most surprising is what John McEnroe said during the ESPN broadcast. "This isn't the first time we've seen this routine. Don't be fooled," stated the American.
It was expected that Nick Kyrgios would give his opinion on the words of an Australian journalist that have offended Novak Djokovic so much, but the humorous format chosen by the local tennis player to denounce the behavior of the man whose words outraged the Balkan tennis player has surprised. Genius and figure, Nick.
Exciting day ahead on Tuesday, January 21st in the 2025 Australian Open. The day session kicks off with Paula Badosa and Coco Gauff on court, followed by Tommy Paul and Alexander Zverev. In the evening at Rod Laver Arena, Aryna Sabalenka will face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, while the highlight is the clash between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz wrapping up the day in Australia.
On the court, right after the victory, Novak Djokovic said he would have retired if he had lost on the second serve. During the press conference, Carlos Alcaraz shared his perspective, which was very different from the Serbian's: "When I won the first set, I tried not to let him breathe and to go for it, to see if he would lower his level or give me more tranquility. There have been several moments where I did not take advantage of my opportunities properly. Small moments in the match that make the difference. I needed to attack more. Someone thinking about retirement would not have played the way he did afterward. Everyone saw he was struggling to move, and in the third and fourth set, I didn't see any of that. I believe that even if he had lost the second set, I would have had to work hard to beat him. I won't go into details, but I don't think he would have retired."
Carlos Alcaraz wants to return to the top-2 of the ATP ranking and shorten the gap as much as possible with Sinner, the main leader of the world classification. To get back within reach of the Italian after this 2025 Australian Open, he already knows that he will have to reach the final of the tournament, defeating Djokovic in the quarterfinals and, if that happens, Zverev in the semifinals.
Carlos Alcaraz is eliminated from the Australian Open 2025, the same result as he had in Melbourne last season. On the one hand, the Spaniard ensures maintaining the same points as last year. In this case, that serves Carlos to stay in the Top 3 regardless of what happens in Australia. However, on the downside, the player from Murcia will not be able to fight at the moment to regain ground in the ATP Ranking Top 2.

Just a few minutes after the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic ended, in which the Serbian emerged victorious, this moment occurred between the Murcian and the Brit. Andy Murray approached Alcaraz in the gym area of the 2025 Australian Open to share a warm and respectful greeting as the coach of the Serbian. Despite the defeat, Carlitos remained smiling throughout.
Carlos Alcaraz is playing his 16th Grand Slam tournament and has reached the quarterfinals in 10 of them, an impressive record that is reinforced by the youth with which he has achieved it. The Murcian is the second youngest player of the entire Open Era to reach double-digit quarterfinal appearances in events of this magnitude, behind only Mats Wilander.
Novak Djokovic started with physical issues in the match but ended up finding a great level in all areas to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, earning a spot in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2025: "The first thing I want to say is that he has all my respect and admiration for all he represents and what he has achieved in his still short career.

I saw that Carlos started to doubt from the baseline, and I started to feel better."
Carlos Alcaraz continues to set amazing records when it comes to success at a young age, and the latest one, achieved at the 2025 Australian Open, is particularly indicative of his greatness. The Murcian has become the youngest player in the Open Era to reach the quarterfinals of all Grand Slam events twice. Moreover, he has secured 65 wins in his first 75 Grand Slam matches, a record surpassed only by John McEnroe.

Ben Shelton broke a new personal record at the 2025 Australian Open by defeating Lorenzo Sonego in the quarterfinals and securing a spot in the semifinals in Melbourne. With this achievement, the American shares an interesting fact with Rafa Nadal. Since 1988, the Spanish and the American are the only two left-handed players to have reached the semifinals in both Grand Slams played on hard courts: the Australian Open and the US Open.
The Kazakh, outspokenly, harshly criticized the retirement methods of both legends and also claimed that doping controls were skipped.
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Nuno Borges (6-2 6-4 6-7 6-2) and became the fourth player in the Open Era to win ten Men's Singles matches in all four Grand Slams before turning 22. The only players to achieve this precocity statistic were legends such as Mats Wilander, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. Carlos thus equals another record that positions him as one of the best young players in tennis history.
Rafael Nadal always made it clear that he did not want to compromise his future health as he wanted to have a normal life in which he could enjoy time with his son and play sports. One of the Spanish's favorite hobbies that he had to put aside for a long time was playing soccer. Well, shortly after retiring, you can already see him playing casual games with friends and staff from the Rafa Nadal Academy.
Being on par with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal in any statistic means you are doing things right in your tennis career. Twenty-seven-year-old American Taylor Fritz has reached the level of both legends by being the only player, after them, to advance through the first two rounds of the Australian Open while conceding fewer games. Nadal lost only four games in his first two matches of the 2011 edition, whereas Federer only dropped six in 2008. As for Fritz, he lost five games against Jenson Brooksby (6-2 6-0 6-3) and three against Christian Garín (6-2 6-1 6-0), making a total of eight.
The careers of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have only just begun. However, the Spaniard, at just 21 years old, already has four Grand Slam titles, and the Italian, 2 at 23 years old. Despite having many years of tennis ahead, both are already among the top 10 players who have earned the most 'prize money' in the history of tennis. Alcaraz holds the eighth position with 37.8 million dollars earned, while Sinner is tenth with 37.2 million.
The Serbian delved into the future of his relationship with Federer and Nadal, leaving nothing unsaid... and expressed optimism that two young players, one in particular, could break their records.
The Spaniard talked about his upcoming documentary with Netflix, the growth of his brand in Saudi Arabia... and confessed what the big 'must' of his professional career is.
