While acknowledging the emergence of young talents like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who dominated the Grand Slams in 2024, Federer sees Djokovic as a serious contender for the Australian Open title.

“I feel like he has chances moving forward,” Federer said. “I look forward to Australia which is the next Slam. I think he’s definitely going to be one of the favourites along with Sinner and Alvarez.”
