Experts comment on Djokovic's chances of winning his 25th Grand Slam

(Dan Tri) - According to former tennis player Rennae Stubbs, the 2026 Australian Open is Novak Djokovic's last chance to win the 25th Grand Slam of his career.

Former world number one women's doubles player Rennae Stubbs commented on Djokovic's chances: "The Australian Open is still the most realistic chance for Novak Djokovic to win his 25th Grand Slam, possibly the last chance of his career."

According to Rennae Stubbs, Novak Djokovic has certain advantages when participating in the Grand Slam tournament in Australia early next year. In his career, Novak Djokovic holds the record of winning 24 Grand Slams and 10 Australian Open titles.

In the past two years, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have completely dominated the Grand Slam scene, sharing the last eight titles. In 2025, Djokovic, despite his best efforts, only reached the semi-finals of all four Grand Slams.

Ms. Rennae Stubbs commented that defending champion Jannik Sinner is still the number one candidate at the 2025 Australian Open, however, if Djokovic advances to the semi-finals of the tournament in Australia, Nole has the ability to make a surprise thanks to advantages in both tactics, playing psychology and the ability to adapt to the court.

Besides, Ms. Rennae Stubbs assessed that the Australian Open is the only tournament where Nole can cause difficulties for Sinner and Alcaraz, as the two young players may not have reached their best form at the beginning of the year.

Novak Djokovic decided not to participate in the 2025 ATP Finals to focus all his energy on the 2026 Australian Open with the goal of winning the 25th Grand Slam of his career. At last year's Australian Open, Djokovic suffered an injury and decided to withdraw from the semi-final match against Alexander Zverev.
