Djokovic Targets No. 25, Concedes Alcaraz and Sinner Lead the Field

He arrives in Melbourne after skipping all tuneups to prioritize health.

Overview

  • The 38-year-old said he can beat anyone if healthy and still believes in a 25th Grand Slam.
  • He praised Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as operating on a different level yet insisted they are not unbeatable.
  • He skipped pre-tournament events, is concentrating on majors, and plans to approach each match like a final to conserve energy.
  • The 10-time Australian Open champion with 24 majors is scheduled to begin on Monday against Spain’s Pedro Martínez.
  • Last year in Melbourne he retired from a semifinal against Alexander Zverev, keeping fitness central to his outlook.
