Experts predict Djokovic's explosive potential at the 2026 Australian Open

(Dan Tri) - Former Australian female tennis player Rennae Stubbs affirmed that Novak Djokovic will fight his best to win the 2026 Australian Open next January.

Sharing with the press, Rennae Stubbs predicted the championship race at the Australian Open 2026: "I can't imagine anyone else winning the Grand Slam tournaments other than Alcaraz and Sinner, unless they suffer a shock or serious injury.

But I have a prediction for the Australian Open and I've said it over and over again. I think Djokovic is aiming all his goals at that tournament.

I don't think he cares about the ATP Finals, he even skipped the tournament. I believe Djokovic will spend all his time and energy trying to explode once again to win the title in Australia."

"I think Djokovic is the only one who can upset Sinner and Alcaraz's plans. Carlos Alcaraz has never reached the final in Australia, last year Djokovic beat him after a dominant match.

I think Nole will enter the tournament with the mentality of having to win a ticket to the semi-finals and try to play beyond his ability in the remaining two matches to aim for the championship," Rennae Stubbs recalled Djokovic's victory over Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2025.

In 2025, Djokovic stopped in the semi-finals of all 4 Grand Slam tournaments. Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and Jannik Sinner won the Roland Garros, US Open.

Finally, the former Australian female tennis player commented on Nole's chances when facing Sinner: "I don't think Djokovic can beat someone like Sinner on hard courts, because he is now too strong. But perhaps the Australian Open is the only playground where Novak still has a chance.

Anything can happen if the stars suddenly get injured. The history of Grand Slam tournaments has seen new champions when the top candidates have problems.
