Novak Djokovic will aim to win another Grand Slam title in 2026, with the knowledge that it will not be easy at all to overcome opponents like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at almost 39 years old.
The Serbian legend who ended 2025 with two titles won and four semi-finals in Major tournaments expressed the need to reduce the number of injuries compared to the past two seasons and it is for this reason that he has hired a prevention expert in view of next season.
Nole's 2026 will begin with the Adelaide ATP 250, scheduled from 12 to 17 January. The former world No.1 will use this tournament as a test for the Australian Open, which begins at Melbourne Park on January 18, where the Belgrade veteran has triumphed on ten occasions (the last time in 2023).
Djokovic has a reduced schedule
Should he win his 25th Grand Slam title, Djokovic would become the oldest player ever to achieve this feat and would prove once again that limits are just an illusion. He has broken almost all records on the men's tour, but he has no intention of stopping and wants to continue competing until the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics if his body allows him.
For the moment, it is almost impossible to predict what Novak's schedule will be next year. During a press conference, Martin Jaite director of the Argentina Open opened up to the possibility that the Serbian star could be present in South America in the next edition. If Djokovic comes to play theDavis Cupin Chile, of course, we would love for him to come play our tournament. Its not something that depends on us Jaite stated.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion has not made it clear whether he intends to play the Davis Cup with his Serbia in 2026, as captain Viktor Troicki recently admitted in a recent interview. The general feeling is that Nole wants to focus all his energy on Grand Slam tournaments, knowing that he does not have much time available to make tennis history again.
