Get Djokovic vs Sinner predictions for 2026 Australian Open.
Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner will lock horns in the semifinals of the 2026 Australian Open on Friday.
The championship matchup pairs two 14–3 teams coming off sharply contrasting conference title games, with New England advancing through a low-scoring, snow-filled AFC Championship win over Denver and Seattle earning its place after a 31–27 NFC Championship thriller against the Rams.
The clash also spotlights two offensive focal points, with Drake Maye guiding New England through a composed, run-focused AFC title performance and Jaxon Smith-Njigba entering as Seattle’s primary playmaker following a 153-yard, one-touchdown outing in the NFC Championship.
Based on the latest simulation results, Dimers' advanced tennis model predicts Jannik Sinner as the most likely winner of the Djokovic vs. Sinner match.
