The Australian Open 2026 is entering its final stretch, with the seasoned veteran Novak Djokovic emerging as a contender. Djokovic advanced directly to the quarterfinals following Jakub Mensik's withdrawal. The Serbian player conserved energy, and his displayed tennis skills to date give him a chance to claim his eleventh title in Melbourne. This is the opinion of former tennis player Tommy Haas: "As one gets older and recovery is not as effective as before, the luck he showed in removing Mensik from the draw can be seen as crucial in achieving that goal. Furthermore, his mental state is up to the challenge, possessing a unique experience and knowledge. However, defeating Sinner and then Alcaraz, if the draw dictates, is probably the toughest task in today's tennis. Additionally, Djokovic is Djokovic, and one should never count him out," concluded the German, in statements collected by SportKlub.
