The Serbian only dropped five points on serve in the three sets and ensures that he played "very fresh and very motivated, and that was reflected positively in the game."
Novak Djokovic
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.

Novak Djokovic had a true feast in his debut at the 2026 Australian Open. The Serbian displayed a show against Pedro Martínez (6-3, 6-2, 6-2) and even achieved a milestone within reach of very few. With this success, the Balkan player has reached his 100th victory at the Australian major, a truly record-breaking number, while in the other Grand Slams, he has 101 wins at Roland Garros, 102 at Wimbledon, and 95 at the US Open.

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.

After defeating Pedro Martínez in his debut, the Serbian gave an eloquent response about the journey taken and the weight of the records (after reaching, of course, his 100th victory in Australia).
The Serbian made his debut at the Australian Open with a resounding victory over the Spaniard in a duel he controlled from start to finish, only conceding five points on his serve.
It is well known by everyone that the relationship between Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev is quite good, but the German's latest press conference proves it once again. Nole, who apparently was around, "crashed" it to question Zverev about a topic he seems quite interested in: outer space. After Zverev's response, Djokovic was even more incisive. "Do you believe that the key to winning a Grand Slam lies in space?" Nole quipped. Sascha handled the situation with humor. "The answer was for you to let me win one." Game, set, and match?

That's the way to go.
