07:30 CET - Hello and welcome to Flashscore's coverage of the 2026 Australian Open men's final!
We're just two hours away from what is undoubtedly one of tennis' biggest ever matches, with history guaranteed to be made in the clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
If the Spaniard can claim his first Australian Open title, he'll become the youngest man in the history of tennis to win all four majors and complete the Career Slam. If the Serb can claim his 11th, he'll become the first player ever to have won 25 Grand Slams.
It would take a brave man to say which record is more likely to be broken today. On one hand, Alcaraz has looked the best player by quite some way down under, and saw off Djokovic with ease in the US Open semis back in September.
However, he looked physically depleted in his semi-final win over Alexander Zverev, which at well over five hours was the tournament's longest semi ever. What's more, Djokovic won their only previous clash in Melbourne, in last year's quarter-final.
Many doubted whether the 38-year-old could ever produce the level of tennis he played that day again, but he pulled one of his best performances ever out of the bag against Jannik Sinner on Friday to reach his first Grand Slam final in a year and a half.
If the Serb can play that well again, we're in for something special.
