Roger Federer once again delighted us in his exhibition at the 2026 Australian Open against Casper Ruud. At the end of the match, his figure was compared to Lionel Messi, however, the Swiss player avoided any kind of comparison and praised the Argentine star: "It's difficult to compare us; He did amazing things in soccer, I'm a big fan of his. How he dominated and changed the game is incredible. I'm happy that he already won a World Cup and won't have that pressure in the next one, although playing in a World Cup is always a huge pressure. I will be following him in the World Cup. Switzerland also qualified, so I might go. I hope Messi achieves the ending he wants for his career," stated the 20-time Grand Slam champion in comments to ESPN.

Carlos Alcaraz had a day filled with interviews before his debut next Sunday at the Australian Open 2026. In one of them, specifically with Espn Brazil, he talked about Joao Fonseca, who arrives in Melbourne with certain physical discomfort: "He is a very attractive player to watch, I love watching him, for the way he plays and for those powerful shots he has, with that beautiful and strong forehand. I am happy to start living experiences with him. At the beginning of this season, he has not been able to play the tournaments due to physical problems, and I advise him to take care of himself and recover, as he is very young," said the world number one.

Rafael Jódar spoke with the El Partidazo de la Cadena Cope program about his feelings at the 2026 Australian Open, where he has advanced through the qualifying rounds. He assured feeling very good and arriving full of confidence, while also acknowledging feeling more comfortable on hard courts than on any other surface. He doesn't want to put pressure on himself in terms of results and is aware that he has plenty of room for improvement. However, the most fun part was when he was asked about his training with Carlos Alcaraz. "It was great, a very interesting training session, he is an excellent person. I think he was a bit tired after the exhibition in South Korea because we played a set and I was leading 5-4 when we finished," he pointed out.

The Russian makes some strong statements about what his new team has brought to him and what goals he has for 2026.
Jannik Sinner was asked in a press conference about his opinion on the words of Roger Federer, in which he recalled that when watching the match between Dimitrov and the Italian at Wimbledon, he thought it might have been interesting to face Jannik with his style of play. "I would have loved to face him, I consider him the most magical tennis player of all time. Unfortunately, I was late. That day at Wimbledon, Grigor played well and knew how to see my weaknesses, changing the pace continuously. In the off-season, I have worked hard to be a more unpredictable player and to respond to that type of game," he explained.
