Novak Djokovic has left a disturbing message about his future after the Serbian commented on why he didn't say 'see you next year' during the trophy ceremony of the Australian Open. "I don't know, I don't know if I will see you again or not. That's why I left it open. The truth is I don't know. You have been following me for a long time and I don't pretend, act, or disguise things; I say things as they are. I have told you in the last year, year and a half, that I'm really not sure about how much or what. I have said that I would like to play until the 2028 Olympics, and that could mean playing one tournament a year, or ten, or fifteen, or two, or seven… I honestly don't know. I don't want to make such long-term decisions when it comes to my schedule and my future right now."

He continued with his explanation: "Honestly, I can't talk or think about future steps or tournaments right now. At that moment, I felt exactly what I said: that the crowd gave me truly unforgettable emotions in the last two matches, emotions that, overall, I don't think I've ever experienced here before. And I am deeply grateful to have finally been able to experience it. I think I earned it and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I will return to Australia; whether it will be as an active player or not, we will see later on."

Carlos Alcaraz has barely had time to enjoy his success at the 2026 Australian Open and he has already begun the round of interviews. The first one has been with Eurosport Spain, where he wanted to highlight those who doubted him: "I remember the people who told me that I wouldn't make it, that I would come here and lose in the quarterfinals. I remember the people who didn't believe in me, but I didn't come here to prove to anyone that I am capable, I came with a strong desire to prove to myself that I am capable of overcoming challenges."

He also wanted to recall that Australia has always been his main goal in most of his seasons: "It's crazy, at the end of every season I always said that my goal for the next year was the Australian Open. It has been a lot of work, a lot of effort, and a lot of dedication."

I really enjoy watching you play, it is an honor to share the court with you, thank you very much for what you are doing. To my team, I believe no one knows how hard I have worked to achieve this trophy, it has been a preseason full of emotions, and you have pushed me to do things, this trophy is also yours."

He also had some words for Rafa Nadal, who was present at the final: "For me, it was also very strange to see Nadal in the stands, it is the first time to see you there, it has been an honor to see you here and also to have shared the locker room with you, thank you very much for coming here."
