NOVAK DJOKOVIC JOKINGLY DEMANDS "COPYRIGHT" ROYALTIES FOR CARLOS ALCARAZ’S NEW SERVE
Carlos Alcaraz's new serve motion has the tennis world talking. Discover the "copyright" deal Djokovic proposed at the AO 2026.
Some fans have a knack for picking up on the smallest details, and they didn’t miss the change in Carlos Alcaraz’s serve at the Australian Open. His new motion looked a lot like Novak Djokovic’s, and Djokovic definitely noticed.
People couldn’t stop talking about Alcaraz’s tweaks. The guy’s already a six-time Grand Slam winner, and here he was, breezing through his first match against Adam Walton—straight sets, no drama. Right after, reporters jumped on the similarities between his serve and Djokovic’s.
Alcaraz just grinned. “You wanted to say it’s really similar to Djokovic, right?” he joked. “I get it. Honestly, everyone needs to make changes, just a few little details here and there. For me, serving is something I keep trying to improve—every year, every tournament. I’m always working on it, changing things up, even when nobody’s telling me to. This time, I adjusted my motion a bit, and now it just feels smooth and calm—like I’ve found a good rhythm. It’s helping. Who knows, you’ll probably see me change it again.”
Of course, Djokovic had to chime in. His own serve has changed a lot over the years, especially since 2018, when he shook things up with a new, shorter backswing. That move helped him rack up another 11 slams. “As soon as I saw Carlos’s serve, I messaged him,” Djokovic said, half-joking. “I told him we need to talk about copyrights. Then I told him face-to-face that he owes me a cut of his winnings for every ace he hits. Let’s see if he sticks to our deal.”
Looking ahead to the rest of the tournament, Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are the clear favourites in Melbourne. Together, they’ve claimed the last eight Grand Slam titles. The only person to break their streak? Djokovic, who won the 2023 US Open.
Now, Djokovic is chasing a 25th major title, hoping to finally outrun Margaret Court and hold the record for singles slams. He started strong, cruising past Pedro Martinez for his 100th Australian Open match win.
But can he still win it all? John McEnroe didn’t sound convinced. “Honestly, no,” he told TNT Sports. “I don’t think he can beat both Alcaraz and Sinner after already playing five matches. That’s just the reality. People wonder why he keeps going when he hasn’t won for a bit, but why not? He’s still ranked No. 3 in the world, made four semis last year, and even beat Alcaraz here. He must believe he can still do it—otherwise, he wouldn’t bother coming back. But it’s definitely getting harder.”
JANNIK SINNER ADVANCES TO ROUND 2 AS HUGO GASTON SUDDENLY QUITS AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN
Jannik Sinner moves to the second round of the 2026 Australian Open after an emotional Hugo Gaston retires due to illness.
Jannik Sinner’s match against Hugo Gaston at the Australian Open ended in a way nobody saw coming. Gaston suddenly retired, broke down in tears, and just sat there, hunched over on his bench. You could tell right away something was off.
Funny thing is, Gaston actually started strong. He grabbed three break points in the opening game against Sinner, who’s ranked No. 2 in the world. But after that, his energy just seemed to drain away. At one of the changeovers, Gaston, sitting at world No. 93, took some tablets before heading back out. But Sinner rolled through the first set 6-2 and barely broke a sweat taking the second, 6-1.
After Sinner went up two sets to none, Gaston called it quits. He could barely hold it together, tears streaming down his face. Sinner noticed and walked over to comfort him, showing some real class.
Nobody likes to see a match end like that. Sinner mentioned in his on-court interview that he could tell Gaston wasn’t at his best. “I saw that he wasn’t serving with much pace, especially in the second set,” Sinner said. “It’s not how you want to win. He’s got so much touch, moves so well—I knew I had to play aggressively right from the start.”
Sinner added, “I’m really happy to be back here. This place is special to me. Thanks for coming; the atmosphere is always amazing.”
In commentary, TNT Sports’ Tim Henman pointed out that the trainer and doctor came on court and gave Gaston some pills. “At the end, when Gaston told Sinner he couldn’t go on, it looked like he gestured to his stomach,” Henman said. “Maybe he wasn’t feeling his best—there’s a bit of illness going around. But honestly, Sinner was just brilliant with his ball striking. Gaston had those three break points at the very start—who knows, maybe that could’ve changed things a bit if he’d managed to break. But it was always going to be a tough day for him.”
DANIIL MEDVEDEV IS BACK: THE GRAND SLAM LOSING STREAK IS FINALLY OVER IN MELBOURNE
Daniil Medvedev is 6-0 in 2026! Discover how his new coaching team helped him snap a year-long Grand Slam losing streak today.
Daniil Medvedev finally snapped his year-long losing streak at the Grand Slams, beating Jesper de Jong in the first round of the Australian Open. It’s been a rough ride for him—he crashed out in the first round at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open last year. Not the kind of run you expect from a former world No. 1. Before that, he’d lost early at the Australian Open too, falling to Learner Tien.
Things look different now. Medvedev came into Melbourne fresh off his 22nd career title in Brisbane, and he played like a man with something to prove, taking out De Jong 7-5, 6-2, 7-6 (2). Just like that, the losing streak is over.
Next up is Quentin Halys from France. And with Felix Auger-Aliassime, the seventh seed, out of the picture after retiring from his first-round match with cramps, Medvedev’s path at the tournament feels a little clearer.
Last season, Medvedev’s fortunes started to change after he split with his long-time coach Gilles Cervara. That breakup came after a pretty public meltdown at the US Open. Now, with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke in his corner, he seems lighter—he even called them “a breath of fresh air”.
“Last year was tough,” Medvedev admitted. “But I feel great with my new team. I don’t dwell on the past. What happened, happened. It’s just part of the job, part of life. I still finished the year ranked 12 or 13 in the world, and honestly, a lot of players would be happy with that.”
He wasn’t thrilled about missing the ATP Finals in Turin for the first time in years, but he’s not beating himself up over it. The end of the season went better than most of the year, and he’s working hard to stay positive on court. “I made a big push to be more positive out there. It’s working so far, but I’m not the kind of guy who says, ‘That’s it, I’m fixed.’ You never know what’s next. I’m just trying to stay positive, both on the court and in life.”
