Novak Djokovic next match at Australian Open 2025: TV schedule, scores, results for tennis star’s tournament | Sporting News

The buzz surrounding the Australian Open 2025 has reached its peak, with the tournament draw, revealed on January 9. Among the players to watch is Novak Djokovic.

Having amassed 10 titles at the Australian Open, Djokovic’s legacy at the Rod Laver Arena is unrivaled. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has made this venue his fortress, securing numerous career-defining victories on its hallowed courts.

However, as whispers of retirement grow louder, this year’s tournament may mark his swan song at the event that has defined so much of his career.

A triumph in Melbourne would be his 100th career title and a record-extending 25th Grand Slam.

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