The last three Grand Slam finals: Roland Garros in Paris, Wimbledon in London, and the US Open in New York, can serve as a more than real preview of what could potentially happen in the coming years. The major titles will be mostly shared between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

The recent ATP Finals in Turin also serve as a demonstration of this. The rivalry between the Italian player and the Spaniard has taken center stage, and for several months now, the lack of a second line of players who could pose a threat to Carlos and Jannik has been noticed.

One name that is always around is that of Novak Djokovic. The Serbian, winner of 24 Grand Slams, continues to strive to be present at the major tournaments, although injuries are unforgiving with age. Nevertheless, many believe that Nole will once again lift a major title.

Novak Djokovic

"It's hard to imagine anyone, unless one of the two suffers a serious injury or they face a series of surprises, capable of winning a major tournament. My focus is on the Australian Open, and I've said it time and again. I believe Novak is aiming for it," confessed Rennae Stubbs, a four-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, as reported by Tennis365.

Novak Djokovic's Golden Opportunity

"I don't think he cared about the ATP Finals; clearly, he didn't play. I think he will dedicate all his time and effort to give his all one last time to win in Australia. I think he is the only one who can achieve victory against Jannik and Carlos. Carlos has never made it to the final there. Novak crushed him last year; one set was really good, but Novak was better overall. So, I believe Novak arrives with the idea that he could reach a semifinal there, and I know he may have one last chance."

The Role of Injuries in a Grand Slam

"I don't think he can beat someone like Jannik on that court. Jannik is already too good on it, but maybe it's the only place where Novak can win. There are also injuries, meaning a player can get injured, and a couple of players have slipped in and won a Grand Slam because the top players got injured."

Only a couple of weeks ago, Djokovic lifted a new trophy at ATP Athens 2025, an event with great personal significance for the Serbian. Although he didn't reach the final in the best possible shape that week due to several physical problems, Nole now has time to rest and kick off the new season on a high note, perhaps by conquering the upcoming 2026 Australian Open.
