ATP
The epic match between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner will go down in history at the Australian Open and in the Grand Slams. The five-set battle between the old and new school was a tribute to tennis, showing once again that statistics are not always synonymous with victories. Despite being superior in all statistics (first serves, points on first serve, points on second serve, aces, winners, return points won, and total points), the victory went to the Serbian player, who will face Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
Pay attention to what I'm about to tell you.

Novak Djokovic once again left us in awe after his tennis masterpiece, defeating Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2026. Many wouldn't have imagined it before the match, and the Serbian recalled those 'haters' who wanted to write him off prematurely: "I never stopped believing in myself. I never stopped trusting. There are many who doubt me. I see suddenly many 'experts' wanting to retire me or who have retired me many times in recent years. I want to thank them all, because they gave me strength and motivation to prove them wrong, and that's what I did tonight," stated the Serbian before fighting for his eleventh Australian Open and 25th Grand Slam title.

We analyze the aspects to consider before the first Grand Slam final of the year between the Spanish and the Serbian. Whatever happens, the winner will make history.
The Serbian considers his victory over the Italian as one of his best performances of the last decade and ensures that his goal for this season is to compete head-to-head with Alcaraz and Sinner in the Grand Slams.
If the 2026 Australian Open was shaping up to be one of the least exciting and quickest Grand Slam editions in recent years, the two men's semifinals have delivered the epicness and duration that people were expecting in this type of tournament. In fact, with both semifinals being five-setters, a total of 9 hours and 36 minutes have been accumulated between them, making them the third-longest Grand Slam semifinals of the 21st century, surpassed only by the 2012 Australian Open (8 hours and 32 minutes) and Wimbledon 2018 (11 hours and 51 minutes). Interestingly, Novak Djokovic has been in both of those semifinals and on both occasions ended up claiming the title. Will it happen for the third time?
📊 Combined, the 2026 Australian Open semifinals lasted 9 hours and 36 minutes. Since the early 2000s, only the 2018 Wimbledon semifinals have lasted longer:
