- On January 18, Novak Djokovic begins the Australian Open at Melbourne Park after refining his approach for the tournament, seeking a 25th Grand Slam singles title.

- With 24 major championships, Djokovic said, 'There has been a lot of talk about the 25th, but I try to focus myself on what I have achieved' and no longer wants the pressure at 38.
- Seeded fourth, Novak Djokovic will open against Pedro Martinez in a Monday night match at Rod Laver Arena and is in the same half as top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz.
- Facing younger rivals who have dominated majors, Djokovic lost three out of four Slams to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in 2025 and aims to protect his body while building momentum.
