Novak Djokovic rallied to victory over American rookie Nishesh Basavareddy in the first round of 2025 Australian Open on Monday.
The Serb overcame a first set wobble to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 and stay on track for a historic 25th Grand Slam title.
Having amassed 10 titles at the Australian Open, Djokovic’s legacy at the Rod Laver Arena is unrivaled. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has made this venue his fortress, securing numerous career-defining victories on its hallowed courts.
However, as whispers of retirement grow louder, this year’s tournament may mark his swan song at the event that has defined so much of his career.
A triumph in Melbourne would be his 100th career title and a record-extending 25th Grand Slam.
Here is everything you need to know about Novak Djokovic’s appearance at the Australian Open, including the latest results from the tournament.
