A Night With Novak returns to Rod Laver Arena ahead of Australian Open 2025, ensuring an unforgettable night out for the 15,000 fans set to pack the stands.
This is the third edition of the charity exhibition event, starring 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic. It returns by popular demand to raise funds for a range of children’s charities through the Australian Tennis Foundation.
Although it’s sold out, you can still enjoy all the entertainment from A Night With Novak, which will be broadcast in Australia on Nine HD from 7.30pm AEDT on Thursday 9 January.
You can also stream it live on the Australian Open YouTube channel, and follow along on the tournament’s social media channels.
For the 2025 edition, Djokovic – targeting an all-time record 25th major singles title when the AO gets underway – will be joined by a special line-up of tennis superstars.
A Night With Novak opens with a singles match between Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios, two players who were doubles partners just last week at the Brisbane International and who faced off in the 2022 Wimbledon final.
The second match has a decidedly Olympic flavour, with Djokovic – the Paris 2024 Olympic singles gold medallist – joined for a doubles contest also featuring women’s singles gold medallist Zheng Qinwen and Andy Murray, who ended his storied career at the Paris Games.
Murray was recently announced as Djokovic’s new coach, and will work with the former world No.1 at AO 2025.
The final match of the evening is a Paralympic doubles contest, where Djokovic and Murray will join forces with world No.1 wheelchair tennis star Tokito Oda and Australian wheelchair tennis legend Dylan Alcott, who won the Golden Grand Slam in 2021.
