Carlos Alcaraz did not arrive in the best possible form at this Australian Open. After a season's final stretch where he was surpassed by Jannik Sinner, things took a turn when his split with Juan Carlos Ferrero, the coach who led him to glory, was made official. Much noise surrounded the Murcian, but he chose silence and hard work.

Aware of the historic opportunity at hand, he arrived in Melbourne without having played an official match in 2026, meaning he was fresher but less seasoned. This inactivity showed in his early matches, although looking at the results, it did not seem so. He made his debut against local player Adam Walton (6-3, 7-6(3), 6-2), followed by a demanding match against Yannick Hanfmann (7-6(4), 6-3, 6-2), and had fun with Corentin Moutet (6-2, 6-4, 6-1). Moving on to the round of 16, his performance improved against Tommy Paul (7-6(8), 6-4, 7-5), and in the quarters, he displayed his best form against Alex de Miñaur (7-5, 6-2, 6-1).

He was just a step away from the final but faced Alexander Zverev along the way, the same player who defeated him in the 2024 Australian Open quarterfinals. The first two sets seemed to pave the way clearly towards the final, but then cramps set in, as it happened in the 2023 Roland Garros, raising fears of missing out on his first Melbourne final. In fact, the German served for the match in the fifth set, but the Spaniard once again showed his resilience and clinched victory 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-7(3), 6-7(4), 7-5.

Novak Djokovic also arrived at the Australian Open without much match practice, knowing he needed to preserve himself well to have a chance at his 25th Grand Slam and face off against Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. To achieve this, he needed to smoothly navigate the early rounds, which he did. He defeated Pedro Martínez (6-3, 6-2, 6-2), with the same result against Francesco Maestrelli (6-3, 6-2, 6-2). Next was his first real test against Botic van de Zandschulp (6-3, 6-4, 7-6(4)), while Jakub Mensik's withdrawal propelled him directly to the quarterfinals.

It was there that he encountered champion's luck as his match against Lorenzo Musetti found him two sets down and displaying somewhat erratic tennis, but the Italian's injury advanced him to the semifinals. However, luck played no part here; he had to work for every point from start to finish. Few believed he could beat Jannik Sinner, especially considering his past five encounters where he failed to defeat him. Nevertheless, the Balkan surprised everyone again, using an effective first serve and impeccable tactics to secure victory in five grueling sets (3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4).

Now, the title is up for grabs between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Djokovic leads the head-to-head with five wins to four for the Spaniard. Alcaraz convincingly won their last encounter in the 2025 US Open semifinals, but just a year ago, he fell in the Australian Open quarterfinals. Two memorable finals are etched in history: Wimbledon 2023, where Alcaraz claimed his first title in London, and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where Djokovic secured a prestigious trophy. Get ready, grab some popcorn, and fasten your seatbelts because whatever happens, this will be a match to remember.
