Djokovic, 38, has won 10 of his 24 major titles in Melbourne, most recently in 2023. But the Serbian legend hasn’t won a Slam since the 2023 U.S. Open, as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have vacuumed up all eight majors since then.

Boris Becker recently acknowledged that his former pupil Novak Djokovic, at 38, is not the player he was ten years ago.
