Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic: The current king of Australia will face the greatest ever player in the competition's history in the second semi-final of the 2026 Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena in a bid to reach the summit clash with the eyes of the world. This is the third time in the last four majors that the two players are playing at this stage in a Grand Slam after Wimbledon and Roland Garros. On both occasions, Sinner won. The two players also played each other in the 2024 Australian Open semi-final, when also the Italian emerged victorious.
Djokovic has made the semi-final in each of the last five majors but has not made the final in any of the last four, as he was knocked out in the last four in all majors in 2025. The Serbian has not won a Grand Slam since the 2023 US Open, and he continues to wait for a historic 25th title.
Sinner is aiming to win the Australian Open for the third time in a row and will make the final of a sixth Grand Slam in a row if he wins today.
Head To Head: The two players have met 10 times, with four wins for Djokovic and six victories for Sinner. At Grand Slams, they have met five times, with Sinner leading 3-2.
Start Time: The match is expected to start at 2:00 PM IST
