*This content was translated by AI.

Novak Djokovic (39, Serbia), the world's fourth-ranked player, achieved a great achievement that even legends called the "emperor of tennis" could not achieve.

Djokovic advanced to the round of 16 on the 24th (6-3, 6-4, 7-6<7-4>) in the third round (32nd round) of the Australian Open, the first major tournament of the 2026 season in Melbourne, Australia.

With this, Djokovic became the first player in tennis history to win 400 singles titles in major tournaments.

He widened the gap with "emperor" Roger Federer (369 wins in Switzerland) and "dirt god" Rafael Nadal (314 wins in Spain), who retired first after playing with Djokovic and building a tremendous career. She has 33 more wins than Serena Williams (retired, USA), who ranks first in the women's division.

In addition, he tied Roger Federer (retired, Switzerland), who has the most wins (102 wins) at the Australian Open. In the round of 16, they will face the winner of Jakub Mensik (17th, Czech Republic) and Lee Sun-Queen (80th, USA), and if they win here, they will set a new record for the most wins in the Australian Open men's singles finals.

He will also take on another record challenge. If he wins the Australian Open again after 2023, he will be the 25th major winner for the first time in tennis history.

Furthermore, he will challenge another true record of 100 wins in three of the four major tournaments. He won 102 games at the Australian Open and Wimbledon and 101 games at the French Open. He won 95 games at the U.S. Open, but if he wins five more games, he will build a golden tower of 100 wins in all major tournaments.

Jannik Sinner (2nd, Italy), who is trying to win his third consecutive Australian Open title, came from behind to win 3-1 (4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4) over Elliott Spizzi (85th, USA) in the third round.

He gave up the first set and started, but he took a breather by winning the second set. However, when he was being dragged to 1-3 in the third set, he even had muscle cramps in his legs. Fortunately, the heat wave stopped the game and Cinner, who took a break in the meantime, turned the tide in the resumed game and eventually won the game.

He will face Luciano Darderi (25th, Italy) in the round of 16.
