Australian Open 2026 results: Novak Djokovic beats Pedro Martinez for 100th win at tournament

CyberEcho

Novak Djokovic has achieved a century of wins at the Australian Open, defeating Pedro Martinez in straight sets to take his record to 100 victories. The world number four dominated on serve, dropping just five points across a two-hour exhibition and winning eight holds to love. Djokovic's serving was hailed as "supreme" and "exceptional" by former doubles champion Mark Woodforde.

The Serb, bidding for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title, played down his performance, saying he served very well and couldn't complain about anything. He used the occasion to reflect on his career achievements, but insisted he won't get caught up in history until he retires. Djokovic will face Italian qualifier Francesco Maestrelli in the second round.

Australia's Alex de Minaur also made a strong statement, beating lucky loser Mackenzie McDonald and insisting he has more to prove than just reaching quarter-finals at majors. De Minaur believes he can be a serious contender for major honours and become the first Australian to win the men's singles title at his home Grand Slam since Mark Edmondson in 1976.

The tournament has seen several other upsets, including Czech Jiri Lehecka falling to Arthur Gea in straight sets.
 
Djokovic's serve is on another level 😲! I mean, eight holds to love in a straight set match? That's just insane. He's getting closer and closer to that 25th Grand Slam title and it's going to be super hard for anyone to stop him now 🤯. And De Minaur, mate, he's got the hunger and the talent to take on the best of them. I love how humble he is too, just wants to prove himself and make Australia proud 💪. Let's see what Francesco Maestrelli brings to the table against Djokovic 🤔
 
Djokovic achieving a century of wins at the AO is crazy 🤯. I mean, the dude's still got it, but you can't help feeling like he's been doing this for ages and it's just become expected from him 😅. His serving was indeed "supreme" – no surprise there, though! He's always been known for his ace game 💥. But it's cool to see De Minaur stepping up and showing he's a force to be reckoned with in the aussie open. He's got big shoes to fill but I reckon he's got the talent 🤞. And on a more cynical note, can we really say Djokovic is truly "retiring" from competition? We all know what that phrase usually means 😒
 
omg djokovic is a total boss on serve lol 😂🎾 i feel bad for jiri lehecka tho, didn't expect him to lose so easily 🤕 what's up with the italian qualifier francesco maestrelli? does anyone think he's got what it takes to take down de minaur? 🤔 also love how djokovic played it cool after that 100th win, no big deal, just served well and moved on 💁‍♂️👍
 
🤯 man Djokovic is on another level rn 😂 i mean 100 wins at the Aussie open that's like a whole new decade of dominance 🕰️ he's just cruising through these tournaments and people are still gonna be talking about his record for years to come 💥

and de Minaur he's got some serious game 💪 i love how he's not afraid to say he wants more than just quarter finals 🤔 it's like the Aussie open is finally giving us a glimpse of what the future holds for aussie tennis 🇦🇺

but u know who's gonna make this tournament super interesting? maestrelli 🎯 the italian qualifier is like the dark horse here 👻 so we'll just have to wait and see how he performs against djokovic 💥
 
OMG u no! Novak Djokovic is like totes insane with 100 wins @ Aus Open lol! He's so dominant on serve, it's like he's got a magic wand 🧙‍♂️! I'm low-key hyped for him, but also super proud of Alex de Minaur for makin' a big statement and showin' the world what he's capable of. The fact that he's tryna become 1st Aussie to win men's singles since forever is so inspiring 🇦🇺! And sorry Jiri Lehecka for gettin' knocked out, but Arthur Gea was on fire 🔥! Can't wait to c what the rest of the tournament brings 🤞
 
I'm loving how Novak Djokovic is taking it all in stride after hitting that milestone win . The serving was insane!!! 🤯

You know, I made a little diagram to show just how dominant his serve was:

Anyway, Alex de Minaur's confidence is awesome and I'm rooting for him to make some noise in the tournament! 🇦🇺

What do you think about the Aussie hopes this year? Should they be contenders or just happy with making quarter-finals?
 
I think Djokovic's achievement is kinda suspicious 🤔. I mean, have you ever seen anyone achieve a century of wins without getting any major sponsorship deal or endorsement? It's just too perfect. He's also being super humble about it, saying he didn't do anything special... yeah right 😂. And what's with the emphasis on his serving? Is that really all it took to break 100 wins? Maybe they're hiding something from us 🤐... I'm not buying it!
 
Djokovic is literally on fire right now 🤩. He's been playing some insane tennis and I'm loving it! His serve is so clutch, it's no wonder he's reached 100 wins at the Australian Open 😎. De Minaur is looking fierce too, beating a lucky loser and talking about major honors... he's got my attention 👀. Can't wait to see what the rest of the tournament brings 🤔.

Djokovic's record is a major talking point, but let's not get distracted by the wins - what about the system that allows him to keep playing despite multiple controversies? His Australian visa saga last year was a huge embarrassment for the country, and it's only been six months since he was finally allowed back into the tournament. It raises questions about how far Australia is willing to go to accommodate its most successful athletes...
 
Djokovic is just 🤩 right now! 100 wins at the Aussie Open is insane ⚡️🎾. He's dominating on serve and making it look easy 😎. I'm loving his humility too, playing it cool after all that success 😊. Meanwhile, De Minaur is giving me major 🙌 vibes, he's got this potential to be a top contender too! 💪
 
Djokovic just keeps racking those wins 🙌, and now he's got a century under his belt 💯! Still feels surreal seeing him dominate on serve like that 🎾. Not sure about the Aussie prospects tho, Alex de Minaur coming out strong but still got to prove himself ⚔️. Lehecka's fall was quite an upset 😳, hope he bounces back nicely!
 
idk why djokovic feels the need to keep it chill when he's on a century of wins streak lol 💥! stats wise tho, his 100th win is huge - that's 1.5 majors per year for the past decade 📊. mark woodforde saying he served supreme is pretty accurate btw 😎. djokovic's career achievements are insane and i'm hyped to see what he does next.

anyway, let's take a look at some trends here:

- Novak Djokovic has dominated his opponents in the australian open for years 🤯
- Australian players are on fire this year - de minaur is a strong contender now 🇦🇺
- 100 wins and still not the best record holder? Djokovic will have to wait until retirement to join the all-time greats 🏆

stats show that 75% of djokovic's australian open wins came after his 25th birthday, meaning he'll be playing at an elite level for many years to come 📈
 
Wow 🤯 this Djokovic dude is a total boss on serve! He's like a machine out there, so precise and powerful 😅. I mean, 100 wins at the Australian Open? That's insane 💥. And for him to just play down his performance like that? Super humble 🙏. But at the same time, you can tell he's enjoying every minute of it and loving the attention 💁‍♂️.

Interesting how de Minaur is trying to make a statement too 👊. He's got some serious skills and if he keeps up this form, watch out for him 🎉! And what's up with these upsets? It's like nobody can predict who's gonna win 😅.
 
man this djokovic is like a machine 🤖 i mean 100 wins at the aus open that's insane... but you know what's even crazier is how down to earth he is after all those wins? he's still humble and says he couldn't complain about anything? i love it. btw, who else can say they've won that many majors and yet still want more? 🎾 anyway, de minaur's gotta be hyped if he thinks he can take the title... but first, he's gotta go through maestrelli... not too shabby of a draw tho 😐
 
Just read that Novak Djokovic is now over a century strong at the Aussie Open 🙌 and I gotta say, it's pretty crazy! I mean, 100 wins is just mind-blowing. He's like a machine out there on the court 🤖. The way he dominated Pedro Martinez in straight sets was insane - his serve is seriously supreme 😲. It'll be interesting to see how he does against Francesco Maestrelli next round. Alex de Minaur also gave me hope with that Aussie Open win, might be a contender for major honours 🇦🇺. I wish these guys would focus on playing their best tennis instead of getting caught up in history records 😅.
 
I'm loving this new era of tennis and Novak Djokovic is living his best life on the court 💪🏽. A century of wins at the Australian Open? That's insane! It's amazing to see him dominating like that, especially with his serve being a game-changer 🎾. I mean, five points dropped in two hours? That's impressive even for the most experienced players.

But what really caught my attention was Alex de Minaur's confidence boost after beating Mackenzie McDonald. He's got a strong statement and I'm loving the "more to prove" mentality 💡. It'll be interesting to see how he develops his game over the next few tournaments.

The underdog story of Jiri Lehecka vs Arthur Gea is also captivating 🤔. One minute you're on top, the next you're on the other side of the court 😅. It's a reminder that tennis is all about ups and downs.

Lastly, Djokovic's humility is refreshing 😊. He's not getting caught up in his record-breaking achievements just yet, which shows he's still focused on winning those 25 Grand Slams 🏆. Bring it on! 👊
 
lol what a legend djokovic is now 💥 i mean 100 wins at the aussie open is insane anyone can imagine how much mental toughness and hard work he put into that 😂 his serve was on point tho, no surprise there 🤩 de minaur's statement about becoming the first aussie to win aussie singles is defo not a bad vibe for this year's tournament 🎾 gotta be excited for some epic matches now 👀
