In a review of the 2024 ATP season, The Athletic ’s tennis team look back at Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz ’s remastering of men’s tennis; Novak Djokovic ’s best worst year; the rise of Taylor Fritz and the retirement of two legends.

Novak Djokovic is ready to challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at the Grand Slam stage when he returns to action at the Australian Open after an underwhelming campaign this year, the 24-times champion said.

Sports fans will get to see the world’s best tennis players up close in Melbourne for as little as $15 for adults and $10 for kids in the lead-up to next month’s Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic has proclaimed that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have “established themselves as the two best players in the world.” The great Serb asserted he is “physically and mentally ready to play my tennis again” and expressed his belief that he can challenge his rivals.
