Novak Djokovic advanced to the Australian Open semifinals on January 28, 2026, after Lorenzo Musetti retired injured while leading 6-4, 6-3, 1-3 in their quarterfinal match. The 38-year-old Serbian, hampered by a foot blister, expressed sympathy for the 23-year-old Italian, who was dominating the contest. Djokovic now faces defending champion Jannik Sinner in the last four.
Britain's top women's padel player, Aimee Gibson, secured her first title of the year by winning the FIP Bronze event in Doha alongside partner Alba Perez Momha. The victory marks their fourth consecutive title together, following a strong performance through the tournament. The final ended prematurely due to an injury to an opponent.
