Ben Stiller sends message to Novak Djokovic after his win over Jannik Sinner at the Australian Open

Ben Stiller reacts to Novak Djokovic beating Jannik Sinner

Stiller, a keen tennis fan, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say: “Congrats @DjokerNole. What an incredible match!”

Djokovic is now through to the 11th Australian Open final of his career and his first Grand Slam title bout since Wimbledon 2024.

He reached the final at the All England Club that year before losing to Alcaraz in straight sets and has only gone as far as the semifinals ever since.

The 24-time major champion will now have the chance to surpass Margaret Court and become the outright all-time leader in Grand Slam titles.

The last time Novak Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz on the tour

Djokovic has a winning record against his next opponent, Alcaraz, but he lost their last encounter on the ATP Tour.

Alcaraz beat him in the 2025 U.S. Open semifinals en route to hoisting a sixth major trophy at Flushing Meadows.

The last time Djokovic managed to beat Alcaraz was at the Australian Open earlier that season, when the two met in the quarterfinals.

There, Djokovic came back from a set down to overcome Alcaraz, before being forced to retire from his semifinal clash with Alexander Zverev due to injury.
