Novak Djokovic was extremely close to winning a record-breaking 25th major title on Sunday when he faced Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open final. The young Spaniard was victorious in the end as he won in four sets—2–6, 6–2, 6–3, 7–5—to become the youngest men’s player to achieve the career grand slam.
After the match, Djokovic was pretty ominous in his comments about his future both at the Australian Open and in tennis in general. Djokovic has won a record 10 titles in Melbourne, with the last one coming in 2023. Could this have been his last Australian Open? Well, his comments in his runner-up speech made it sound like he’s at least contemplating retirement at this point.
