Yearly summary Early hard court season Adelaide International

Djokovic was scheduled to play the Adelaide International, however he withdrew as he was unable to return to match sharpness and was "not physically ready to compete."

Australian Open

In the opening rounds of the 2026 Australian Open , Djokovic faced Pedro Martinez and Francesco Maestrelli and dominated in straight sets, setting up a match with Botic van de Zandschulp, who had upset him at Indian Wells last year. He defeated him in three relatively comfortable straight sets, and faced Lorenzo Musetti in the quarterfinal as Jakub Mensik withdrew due to an abdominal injury. After losing the first two sets to Musetti, the Italian would be forced to retire in the third set due to a right leg injury.

In the semi-finals, he would produce arguably one of the greatest performances in his career as he upset two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner in five sets, saving 16 break points along the way to advance to his 11th final at Melbourne Park. Following his victory, he would become the oldest finalist to reach the final at the Australian Open at 38 years and 255 days old, only being younger than Ken Rosewall. (Rosewall having been older overall at the 1974 US Open.)

However, Djokovic's attempt at a record-extending 25th major title ended in the final, where he was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. The result ended Djokovic's perfect record in Australian Open finals and allowed Alcaraz to become the youngest male player to achieve a career Grand Slam. With his finalist appearance, Djokovic would rise to be World No 3 after the end of the Australian Open and maintain his streak of 5 consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearances.
