Preview

This final will be a rematch of the Australian Open 2025 quarter-finals, where Novak Djokovic was the eventual winner between the two. However, Alcaraz went on to win the US Open 2025 semi-final against Novak Djokovic last year.

Both Novak and Alcaraz played two epic semifinals, where Alcaraz had to fight it out with Alexander Zevrev in the longest Australian Open semifinal in the Open era.

On the other hand, Djokovic played out an epic five-set thriller against defending double champion Jannik Sinner, a match that went over four hours as well.

So, the final will not be just about skill and mental stability; it will also be about who can maintain their fitness at its peak for the longest amount of time.

For Alcaraz, it will be his chance to complete a career slam and become the youngest ever to achieve it. In time, for ten-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, it will be his moment to finally clinch his 25th Grand Slam title and become the first ever male or female player to achieve that landmark.
