Djokovic's Australian Open Press Conference Turns Tense
Djokovic brands a question about Sinner & Alcaraz 'disrespectful' at Aussie Open.
On 28 January 2026, Novak Djokovic delivered a heated response at the Australian Open press conference after winning his quarter‑final match. Djokovic, who advanced to the last four following Lorenzo Musetti’s injury retirement, was asked about his future Grand Slam opponents. When reporters suggested he was targeting fellow top players Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic called the idea “a little bit disrespectful” and bristled at the line of questioning. The exchange took place in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, highlighting Djokovic's frustration over being perceived as seeking to pick opponents. His comments add to the growing media attention surrounding the Serbian’s performance in the 2026 season.
