HEARTBREAK IN MELBOURNE: WHYNAOMI OSAKA’S INJURY WITHDRAWAL IS A MASSIVE LOSS FOR TENNIS
Two-time champion Naomi Osaka withdraws from the 2026 Australian Open with an abdominal injury, ending her viral "jellyfish" run.
Naomi Osaka, a two-time Australian Open champ, pulled out of the tournament with an abdominal injury just before her third-round match on January 24. She said, “It breaks my heart,” and you could tell she meant it.
The news dropped only hours before she was supposed to face Australian qualifier Maddison Inglis on Melbourne’s centre court. Osaka explained on Instagram, “I’ve had to make the difficult decision to withdraw to address something my body needs attention for after my last match.” She added, “I was so excited to keep going, and this run meant the most to me, so having to stop here breaks my heart. But I can’t risk doing any further damage, so I can get back on court.”
Osaka has dealt with this injury before. She told the media she’d felt it “a couple of times before.” She tried to tough it out—played her last match in pain, hoping a bit of rest would do the trick. But when she warmed up, the pain only got worse.
At 28, and now a mom, Osaka said her body has changed a lot since returning from pregnancy. She’s planning to see a doctor for more tests and knows she needs to be careful.
Despite her early exit, Osaka made a splash at this year’s Open. People couldn’t stop talking about her appearance at Rod Laver Arena in a wild, jellyfish-inspired outfit—a white umbrella, a wide-brimmed hat, a gauzy veil, and a turquoise dress over pleated white pants. But it wasn’t all fashion headlines. In round two, she got into a spat with veteran Sorana Cirstea after shouting “come on” between Cirstea’s first and second serves. Osaka brushed her off in the on-court interview but later apologised for being “disrespectful.” Tennis legends Martina Navratilova and Lindsay Davenport both called her out for breaking basic etiquette.
If Osaka had been able to play—and beat Inglis—she would have set up a much-anticipated showdown with Iga Swiatek. Swiatek, a six-time Slam winner, had her own drama, fighting through a shaky match to beat Anna Kalinskaya 6-1, 1-6, 6-1 and reach the last 16. When she found out Osaka had withdrawn, Swiatek looked surprised. “I don’t know what my reaction should be,” she admitted, but wished Osaka well and said she was excited to reach the fourth round again.
Swiatek’s already got titles from the French Open, US Open, and Wimbledon, but Melbourne keeps slipping through her fingers. Last year, she made it to the semifinals but lost to eventual champ Madison Keys.
Speaking of Keys, she and fellow American Jessica Pegula are lining up for a last-16 showdown—and a little pre-match banter. The two co-host “The Player’s Box” podcast with Jennifer Brady and Desirae Krawczyk, and Keys joked about a wager gone wrong: “She wants to make me eat her disgusting apple pie with cheese on top of it if I lose, which I said I refuse, so she’s going to have to think of something else.” Keys cruised past Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-3, while Pegula took down Oksana Selekhmeteva 6-3, 6-2.
Elsewhere, fifth seed Elena Rybakina proved too much for Tereza Valentova, winning 6-2, 6-3.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC LANDS IN ATHENS AFTER HISTORIC AUSTRALIAN OPEN RUNNER-UP FINISH
After a historic loss to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic returns to his family in Athens to reset for the 2026 tennis season.
After losing his first Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic just wanted to see his family.
Djokovic landed in Athens on Tuesday, wrapping up two weeks away from home and marking his 38th appearance in a major final.
For the first time ever, Novak walked away from Rod Laver Arena with the runner-up trophy. At 36, he became the oldest finalist in Australian Open history, but Alcaraz stopped him in four sets: 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The match lasted just over three hours.
This was Djokovic's first tournament in more than two months, and even so, he showed why people call him a legend. He cruised through the first three rounds and reached the last 16 without much fuss.
In the fourth round, Jakub Mensik had to pull out with an abdominal injury, so Novak got a walkover and saved some energy for the big matches ahead. But things nearly fell apart a few days later. Lorenzo Musetti took the first two sets in their quarterfinal, and for a moment, Djokovic looked like he might be headed home early. Then, out of nowhere, Musetti retired in the third set, and suddenly Novak was through to his 13th Australian Open semi-final.
Next up was Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending champ. Djokovic had to dig deep. Twice he came back from a set down and eventually won 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after more than four hours on court. He fought off 16 out of 18 break points and weathered over 70 winners from Sinner, proving that belief really does go a long way. At 36, he marched into his 38th major final.
Djokovic left everything on court against Alcaraz. He started strong, but the Spaniard found his rhythm and took control in the second and third sets, racking up five breaks. In the fourth, Novak saved six break points early on and kept pace, even earning a break chance at 4-all. Then he missed a forehand he’d usually make, and just like that, his shot at a fifth set slipped away.
Alcaraz broke late in the set and sealed the win, handing Djokovic his first-ever loss in an Australian Open final. Now, Novak’s taking some time off to be with his family. He’s expected back on court soon, probably in Doha, but right now, only he knows how his schedule will look.
WHO IS SAMUEL LOPEZ? MEET THE COACH BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ’S 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GLORY
Discover the touching moment Carlos Alcaraz saw coach Samuel Lopez receive a trophy after his Australian Open victory.
Carlos Alcaraz just pulled off something huge—he beat Novak Djokovic in four sets (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) to win the Australian Open. With this win, he joins the legends of the Open era, becoming one of the rare players to snag at least one title at all four Grand Slams.
Here’s the wild part: Alcaraz is just 22. Actually, he turns 23 on May 5, so he’s still got plenty of time. This marks his seventh Grand Slam title already. For a bit of perspective, Djokovic had only one Grand Slam trophy at Alcaraz’s age.
Since he’d never won the Australian Open before, Alcaraz didn’t really know the drill for the trophy ceremony. His coach, Samuel Lopez, got a trophy too, which caught Carlos off guard—in a good way. Their partnership has clearly paid off.
Talking to the media, Alcaraz said he loved that coaches get recognised with their own trophy. He hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a fantastic idea, since a champion’s journey isn’t a solo effort. Watching Samuel Lopez get his moment meant a lot to him. “It’s wonderful, and when I saw him there, I was so happy because I know Samuel has been working toward this moment his whole life. For me, he’s one of the best coaches—if not the best—you can have on a tennis court today. For me, it was a magical and incredibly special moment: hugging him after the last point and also seeing him there, with everyone recognising what he deserves,” Alcaraz said.
Not everyone was convinced after Alcaraz split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and started working with Lopez. Some experts doubted whether he could keep dominating the tour this year. But after Melbourne, it looks like Alcaraz isn’t going anywhere. Even without Ferrero, he’s still leading the pack.
With three more Grand Slams coming up this season, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. You get the feeling that we’ll be watching Alcaraz and Sinner battling for the biggest prizes all year long.
