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?

Novak Djokovic wrote another page in tennis history, and these were his first words after reaching the final of the Australian Open 2026 by defeating Jannik Sinner in a thrilling match to set up a showdown with Carlos Alcaraz for the title. "I have no words, it feels surreal to me to play for more than four hours; it reminded me of the final with Rafa Nadal in 2012. The quality of my tennis has been extremely high. I told Sinner thank you for making me work for it, he pushed me to the limit and played great tennis. I said it was very hard to beat him, but not impossible, and here we are. This is one of the most special nights I've had here in Australia," declared the Serbian, who will seek his eleventh title in Melbourne and his 25th Grand Slam next Sunday.

He will leave Melbourne trailing Alcaraz by 2,650 points if the Spaniard loses the final, and 3,650 points if Carlos becomes the champion.
