A generational clash between two giants of world tennis will come to life, when world no.1 Carlos Alcaraz and 10-time champion Novak Djokovic collide in the 2026 Australian Open men’s singles final on Channel 9 and 9Now.

In coverage tomorrow – Sunday, February 1 from 6.30pm AEDT, with a one hour preshow before a dream men’s final where two titans with an age difference of 16 years meet on Rod Laver Arena.

For 22-year-old Spanish sensation Alcaraz, a win would make him the youngest in history to complete the career grand slam, surpassing the record set by his countryman Rafael Nadal.

While 38-year-old Serbian legend Novak Djokovic, is chasing his 11th Australian Open and has never been beaten in an AO final, plus a record-extending 25th grand slam title, which would make him the oldest grand slam champion in AO history

In two previous grand slam finals it was Alzacaz who prevailed (both at Wimbledon), but the king of Melbourne Park can never be ruled out, just as he proved in a thrilling five set semi-final win over reigning AO champion Jannik Sinner.  

Expert commentary will includes Jim Courier, Jelena Dokic, John McEnroe, Todd Woodbridge, Lleyton Hewitt, Sam Stosur, Dylan Alcott, John Millman, Casey Dellacqua, Sam Smith and Alicia Molik.

The Afternoon Serve is live from 4.00pm AEDT when the team wraps up another huge two weeks of grand slam tennis, and a few laughs along the way.
