NOVAK DJOKOVIC AND SWIATEK JOIN COCO GAUFF: PLAYERS DEMAND "PRIVATE ZONES" AT AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2026
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek have joined Coco Gauff in a fierce debate over player privacy after viral "tunnel" footage.
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek have joined Coco Gauff in calling out the lack of privacy for players at the Australian Open, and Serena Williams also chimed in to support Gauff.
After Gauff lost 1-6, 2-6 to Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals, cameras caught her smashing her racket in a hallway backstage. The footage aired, and people everywhere saw a raw moment that probably wasn’t meant for public eyes.
In her press conference, Gauff didn’t hide her frustration. “I tried to go somewhere they wouldn’t broadcast it, but obviously they did,” she said. “Maybe some conversations can be had because I feel like at this tournament the only private place we have is the locker room.”
Later, Gauff posted on social media: “Living and learning, but still will keep trying to move forward. Also, I’m a real person with real feelings… I care a lot, and I’m trying my best. Thank you to those who understand that.”
Swiatek, who went viral herself when cameras caught her forgetting her accreditation at Melbourne Park, backed Gauff after losing her own quarter-final to Elena Rybakina. “The question is, are we tennis players, or are we animals in the zoo where they are observed even when they poop? That was exaggerating, obviously, but it would be nice to have some privacy,” she said. “It would be nice also to have your own process and not always be observed.”
Swiatek pointed out that players expect to be watched on court and in the press—that’s part of the job. But being turned into memes for every little mistake off the court? Not so much. “It’s funny, for sure. People have something to talk about. But, for us, I don’t think it’s necessary,” she said.
Djokovic, after reaching the semi-finals, admitted he’s “against” all the cameras. He called it “frightening” when you forget they’re recording. “I empathise with her. I know what it feels like to break a racquet. I’ve done it a few times in my career. I know how it is to be frustrated, especially after a match where you underperform,” he said.
He didn’t sugarcoat it. “It’s really sad that you can’t move away anywhere and hide and fume out your frustration, your anger, in a way that won’t be captured by a camera. But we live in a society where content is everything. It’s a deeper discussion. I don’t see the trend going the other way. If anything, there’ll be more cameras. I’m surprised we don’t have cameras in the showers yet—that’s probably the next step.”
Djokovic wants limits. “There should be a borderline where this is our space. You gotta be careful. I remember the time when we didn’t have so many cameras. Getting used to having an eye always on you, which you sometimes forget about, is frightening. At times, you just want to relax and be yourself, without the public watching.”
Serena Williams took to social media to back Gauff, praising her passion and even joking that she could give her a lesson on smashing rackets. “Passion. Caring. Matters. Nothing wrong with hating to lose,” she wrote. “Now, Coco, when you want, I can show you how to demolish in one swipe… Serena style.”
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.
