Novak Djokovic is approaching the Australian Open aiming for the well-known target of securing his 25th Grand Slam victory.
Whenever Novak Djokovic steps onto the Australian Open, he always becomes the focal point of the global tennis community. It’s no exaggeration to say that Melbourne Park is the sanctuary for the Serbian player, where he has established one of the greatest records in Grand Slam history. With 10 titles out of 20 appearances, Djokovic is currently the most successful player at the tournament famously called the "Happy Slam".
To date, Djokovic has achieved 99 wins at the first Grand Slam of the year, and the milestone of 100 victories is likely to come in the 2026 season.
Notably, Nole will return to Melbourne wearing an outfit featuring colors linked to his past triumphs. According to his sponsor Lacoste, the 38-year-old will don a green shirt paired with dark green shorts at the Australian Open held from January 18 to February 1, 2026.
This color scheme accompanied the Serbian player during his Australian Open wins in 2020 and 2021, replacing the familiar blue tones of recent years. Previously, the Grand Slam record holder drew attention by almost exclusively wearing red attire at tournaments in China to show respect for local culture.
However, despite impressive statistics and thorough preparation, a major question remains about Djokovic’s ability to claim additional Grand Slam titles amid the rise of the younger generation – Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have shared the last 8 Grand Slam titles. Djokovic’s most recent major win was over two years ago at the 2023 US Open.
