About this listen
Novak Djokovic has dominated headlines at the Australian Open 2026, etching more records into his legendary career while sharing personal glimpses that blend grit with whimsy. On Saturday, January 24, the ATP Tour reported he notched his 400th major match win, a straight-sets rout of Botic van de Zandschulp that vaulted him 31 ahead of Roger Federer on the all-time list and tied Federers 102 Australian Open victories, per the Infosys ATP Win-Loss Index. Firstpost confirmed this triumph came without his family in the stands, as wife Jelena and kids Stefan and Tara stayed in Athens for school amid a late-night time difference. Djokovic quipped his son begged to skip homework but priorities won out, adding that an ancient Brazilian fig tree in Melbournes Botanic Gardens has been his oldest pal for 20 years, healing wounds when solitude calls.
Fate smiled Monday when Jakub Mensik withdrew with an abdominal injury, handing Djokovic a walkover to the quarterfinals without dropping a set, as AusOpen.com detailed. The rested 38-year-old faces Lorenzo Musetti on Rod Laver Arena Wednesday afternoon AEDT, eyeing his 103rd AO win to shatter Federers record outright and potentially set up a semifinal clash with Jannik Sinner, according to ATP Tour scheduling. Off court, Djokovic lit up social media Sunday with a playful Im upset right now plus angry emoji under a French Open X post celebrating Aryna Sabalenkas 20 straight major tiebreak wins, eclipsing his 19, Sports Illustrated revealed. The duo shares banter, with Sabalenka teasing in her presser about waiting for his mixed doubles invite.
No fresh business moves or public spats surfaced, but whispers of Djokovic chasing Slam 25 fuel retirement speculation, though his form screams longevity. All verified from ATP, AusOpen, Firstpost, and SI.
