Novak Djokovic received a warning from the chair umpire during his quarterfinal match at the 2026 Australian Open against Lorenzo Musetti. The Serbian player exchanged words with the match official: "I was looking for my cap. I was changing. You could have given me a warning, considering I am a noble person and someone who has been in the sport for a couple of decades... In the middle of the first set, the first time I went over time, you gave me a warning. Do you think that's fair? I'm not saying it's against the rules, because I went over time, but you could have warned me, right? You could have said: 'Hey, Novak, hurry up'."
