Novak Djokovic added yet another record to his lengthy list Wednesday at the Australian Open, while Carlos Alcaraz also marched on.

Novak Djokovic feels ‘blessed’ to break a record previously held by fellow tennis legend Roger Federer at the 2025 Australian Open. Djokovic defeated Jaime Faria 6-1 6-7 6-3 6-2 in the second round on Wednesday to continue his quest for a historic 25th major singles title, which would move him clear of Margaret Court in the all-time standings.

The rise of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz vanquished Djokovic's inevitability at the Australian Open, but he is still the main character.
