Australian Open director Craig Tiley confident Djokovic will return in 2026

The Hindu  

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said he is confident Novak Djokovic will return to the season-opening Grand Slam next year after injury ended the 37-year-old’s latest challenge in the semifinals at Melbourne Park. “We’ll see Novak back and I look forward to catching up with him in the next couple of weeks.” Djokovic took aim at his critics the day after his exit from the tournament, posting photos of an MRI scan of the injury on social media and Tiley was certain the Serb had done everything possible to be ready for the semifinal. pic.twitter.com/ZO5mBtw9zB — Novak Djokovic January 25, 2025 “He had a good warm-up that morning and his team were confident that he’d be able to get out there and play,” Tiley said. “I haven’t met a player that does as much pre-preparation and has as big a focus on it as Novak does, and he would do everything he possibly can to get on the court.” Jannik Sinner and Madison Keys won the men’s and women’s titles as record numbers attended the Australian Open’s latest edition, with more than 1.1 million spectators making their way to Melbourne Park.
