Novak Djokovic, 38 years old and ranked No. 3, reached the Australian Open final before falling to Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, according to Tennis Majors. The loss marked a significant moment in his pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam title as the 2026 season unfolds.
Following his Australian Open run, Djokovic was eliminated from Indian Wells by Jack Draper, a result that underscored the physical toll of his deep tournament runs. Draper's victory was noted as a breakthrough performance for the young British player, signalling the competitive challenges Djokovic continues to face on the ATP circuit.
At this stage of his career, Djokovic's path to claiming another major remains dependent on his ability to maintain fitness and consistency across the remaining Grand Slam events. The road ahead will test whether the Serbian veteran can add to his historic tally before the season concludes.
