Luciano Darderi starred in a rather curious scene at the 2026 Australian Open. The Italian managed to defeat Cristian Garín in straight sets despite having stomach issues throughout the entire match. These issues escalated right at the end of the game; as soon as the match was over and he was relieved of the competitive tension, the Italian had to rush to the restroom. The expressions on his opponent and the fans' faces were priceless.
DARDERI WINS A CRAZY MATCH 💙😂

Novak Djokovic is not indifferent to the novelties in Carlos Alcaraz's serving technique, especially considering that the procedure of the Spanish player's new serve is practically the same as Djokovic's. So, this is what Djokovic did when he first saw it: "As soon as I saw it, I sent him a message. I said, 'We need to talk about copyright.' Then, when I saw him here, I told him we needed to talk about the percentage of his earnings. For every ace he makes, I expect him to pay me tribute," joked the Balkan player.

Novak Djokovic was one of the distinguished spectators who watched the exhibition featuring Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter, and Lleyton Hewitt before the 2026 Australian Open. And he didn't hesitate to praise the Swiss: "It was a unique and very different situation for all of us to see him training with Casper Ruud, something that surprised everyone. He played incredibly well; it was lovely to see him live. It is truly a pleasure to watch his tennis live. We all know he is the most talented and elegant player of all time. Every one of his shots is a symphony, both technically and aesthetically, in the way he executes and moves. Even now, already retired, he looks fantastic,” declared the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
