Novak Djokovic next match at Australian Open 2025: Scores, results and schedule for tennis grand slam | Sporting News Australia

Novak Djokovic begins a nail-biting quest for a historic 25th Grand Slam title at the 2025 Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on Sunday.

A 10-time champion at the Australian Open, Djokovic kicks off his campaign against American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy.

Though the 37-year-old once ruled the hard courts in Melbourne, time and a tide of new champions may make it more challenging this time around. He has been drawn in the same quarter as Carlos Alcaraz and the same half as World No. 2 Alexander Zverev.

Here is everything you need to know about Novak Djokovic’s appearance at the Australian Open, including the latest results from the tournament.

Djokovic will take on Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round of the Australian Open 2025. The day for the match is yet to be determined, with it likely to take place on Monday.
