Djokovic, on the verge of tears after defeating Sinner: "I said it was very difficult to beat him, but not impossible, and here we are"

Novak Djokovic wrote another page in tennis history, and these were his first words after reaching the final of the Australian Open 2026 by defeating Jannik Sinner in a thrilling match to set up a showdown with Carlos Alcaraz for the title. "I have no words, it feels surreal to me to play for more than four hours; it reminded me of the final with Rafa Nadal in 2012. The quality of my tennis has been extremely high. I told Sinner thank you for making me work for it, he pushed me to the limit and played great tennis. I said it was very hard to beat him, but not impossible, and here we are. This is one of the most special nights I've had here in Australia," declared the Serbian, who will seek his eleventh title in Melbourne and his 25th Grand Slam next Sunday.
