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.”
DOHA DISASTER: IGA SWIATEK AND ELENA RYBAKINA BOTH CRASH OUT IN QUARTER-FINAL SHOCKERS
Massive upsets in Doha! Maria Sakkari stuns Iga Swiatek while teen Victoria Mboko takes down Rybakina. Read the full analysis.
World number two Iga Swiatek and Australian Open champ Elena Rybakina both made early exits from the Qatar Open on February 12, falling in the quarter-finals to Maria Sakkari and Victoria Mboko.
Swiatek, the top seed and defending champ, started strong; she broke Sakkari twice in the first set and looked on track for another easy win. But Sakkari, who’s had a tough stretch lately, dug in. She fought back, grabbing a tense 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 win. Afterward, Sakkari admitted, “It’s been a while since I had a big win like today.” She used to be ranked as high as No. 3 in the world back in 2022 but has slipped all the way down to 52. “When you drop in the rankings and you’re not playing good tennis, you start doubting yourself. You think you’re never going to beat those players again,” she said. “So it’s a huge process you have to go through in your head that you can do it.”
Sakkari, 30, had beaten Swiatek three times earlier in their careers, but not since 2021. Swiatek had won their last four matches, including a straight-sets victory in Qatar last year. “Last year, in the second round here against her, I was not confident; I was not believing in myself, and this year it’s different. I feel a lot better,” Sakkari said. She’ll now play either Karolina Muchova or Anna Kalinskaya in the semi-finals. “I’ve missed that feeling of going deep into tournaments.”
Swiatek, who dominated this event in 2022, 2023, and 2024, looked ready to do it again. But after dropping the first set, Sakkari found something extra. She broke early in the second set, and even though Swiatek kept responding, Sakkari steadied herself, broke again, and took the set. For the first time in their seven matches, they went to a deciding set. It was back-and-forth—Swiatek saved a match point, but Sakkari served out the win, finally sealing it on her third chance. The match lasted just under two and a half hours.
Right after that, Victoria Mboko kept her hot streak going. She beat Rybakina 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in a match that was only six minutes shorter than the Sakkari-Swiatek battle. Mboko had already beaten Rybakina once this year, in the Montreal semi-finals, and she came out swinging again, breaking Rybakina’s serve three times in the first set. She dropped her own serve twice but still took the set. Rybakina bounced back to grab the second, but the 19-year-old Canadian had the edge in the third and closed it out 6-4.
Mboko, who lost to world number one Aryna Sabalenka in Melbourne a few weeks ago, now faces Jelena Ostapenko in the Doha semis. Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champ and last year’s runner-up, made it through by beating Elisabetta Cocciaretto 7-5, 6-4.
ELITE CLUB: SEBASTIAN KORDA HITS 150 ATP WINS TO JOIN CARLOS ALCARAZ AND JANNIK SINNER
Sebastian Korda secures his 150th ATP win in Dallas. Discover the six stars born after 2000 who are chasing Sinner and Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are still running the show on the ATP Tour, but they’re not the only young guns making waves. Four other players born after 2000 have now reached 150 career wins, joining the exclusive club right behind the top two.
Sinner leads the pack with a massive 326 ATP wins, leaving Alcaraz in second with 287. These two haven’t just piled up the numbers, either—they’ve basically owned the Grand Slams lately, splitting the last nine majors between them.
Even so, this generation isn’t just a two-man race. Sebastian Korda made headlines at the Dallas Open by picking up his 150th ATP win against Michael Zheng. That puts him in the same bracket as Alcaraz and Sinner. Felix Auger-Aliassime sits just behind the top two with 270 wins, then comes Lorenzo Musetti at 184 and Holger Rune with 175.
Let’s be honest right now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still the players everyone’s chasing. But with both of them sitting out this week, the door’s wide open for someone else to step up. Korda, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton are all battling it out at a Dallas Open packed with American talent. Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur and Auger-Aliassime are among the big names at the Rotterdam Open.
Take a look at the last nine Grand Slam winners, and it’s pretty much a Sinner-Alcaraz highlight reel:
Australian Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Sinner, 2026 Alcaraz
French Open: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Alcaraz
Wimbledon: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Sinner
US Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Alcaraz
Of course, there’s always hope that players like Rune and Jack Draper can mix things up, but Rune’s currently injured, and Draper’s just getting back after a long layoff. Then you have rising talents like Learner Tien and Joao Fonseca, both recent Next Gen ATP Finals champs, just like Alcaraz and Sinner were earlier in their careers, who might be the next to challenge the big two. The race is on, but for now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still setting the pace.
