Novak Djokovic seems to have made his first major scheduling call for 2026 season.

Novak Djokovic may not play any warm-up tournament before the Australian Open next year as his name was missing from the entry list for the Brisbane International 2026. In the last three years, Djokovic had always played one warm-up tournament for the Aus Open, which he has won 10 times.

In 2025, he played in Brisbane to get his calendar underway. In 2024, he played for Serbia in the United Cup team and played at the Adelaide International in 2023. But for 2026, he has not entered the Brisbane International.

Djokovic leaves a blank space before Aus Open
The ATP Tour 2026 season will begin on 5 January with the Brisbane International, United Cup and the Hong Kong Open, and Djokovic is not playing in any of these tournaments.

Djokovic may yet decide to enter the Adelaide International and Auckland Open, which will be played from 12-17 January, before the Australian Open
