In a stunning upset, 38-year-old Novak Djokovic defeated two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller (3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4) to reach the Australian Open 2026 final. Djokovic becomes the oldest man to reach the tournament's title match and will face top seed Carlos Alcaraz, who eliminated Alexander Zverev. Djokovic is now one win away from a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.
