If Stef progresses, he potentially faces Novak Djokovic in the QF. WHY?” one fan wrote.Several others called Djokovic “lucky” for allegedly escaping tough draws constantly.“Big Novak fan but holy sh*t what a luck. It’s a war in the bottom half,” one fan said.Here are a few more reactions from tennis fans:What's at stake for Novak Djokovic at Australian Open 2024?Novak Djokovic is the Australian Open defending championNovak Djokovic is the Australian Open’s most successful champion. He has won the tournament a staggering 10 times, with his latest win coming last year. The Serb holds a splendid win-loss record of 89-8 at Melbourne Park and has a 100% record in the semifinals and finals he has played.At the 2024 edition of the tournament, Djokovic will not only bid for a record-extending 11th title, but also look to establish himself as the sole Grand Slam leader by clinching his 25th Major. The 36-year-old is currently the Open Era record-holder but is tied with Margaret Court, who has similarly won 24 Majors, across eras.Additionally, Djokovic will look to extend his dominance as the World No. 1. While the Serb currently holds a 2200-point lead over World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, he will be defending 2000 points at the event. The Spaniard, meanwhile, will have nothing to lose, given his no-show at the 2023 event.
