After a year of forced absence, Novak Djokovic returns to Melbourne — the court where he has built his most complete legacy — seeking to reclaim not just a title but his place at the summit of tennis history.

With the world number one Alcaraz withdrawn and the field unusually open, the Australian Open becomes something rarer than a tournament — it becomes a referendum on who still owns the game.
