In the last few days Novak has kicked off 2026 by shaking the sport more off the court than on it. According to Sports Illustrated and multiple tennis outlets, he dropped two bombshell announcements within about 24 hours: first, he **quit the Professional Tennis Players Association**, the very players body he co founded, and second, he **withdrew from the 2026 Adelaide International** to go straight into the Australian Open with no warm up event.
On the PTPA front, Novak posted on social media that after careful consideration he is stepping away completely from the association, citing concerns over transparency, governance, and how his voice and image were being represented, a move echoed in coverage by Sports Illustrated and the Serbian press. He said he is proud of the original vision he shared with Vasek Pospisil, giving players a stronger independent voice, but that his values no longer align with the current direction. For his biography, this is big legacy stuff: the guy who tried to reshape tennis politics now publicly closing that chapter and refocusing on what he calls his principles, his family, and his tennis.
Then the body blow for Adelaide. The ATP Tour and Tennis.com report that Novak announced on Instagram he is "not quite physically ready" to compete at the Adelaide International, pulling out as top seed just days before the event. He referenced great memories of winning the title there two years ago and said his focus is now squarely on preparing for the Australian Open in Melbourne. Commentary shows like Tennis Talk with Cam Williams are already debating whether this no tune up approach, coming off a shoulder issue late last season, will affect his chances in Melbourne. That chatter about the exact state of his shoulder and overall fitness is speculative right now; what is confirmed is only what Novak himself said: not physically ready for Adelaide, eye on the Australian Open.
There is also broader context on his career numbers, with tennis media noting that in 2026 he is creeping toward the historic milestone of 200 million dollars in career prize money, which underscores that these decisions are being made deep into an already all time great run.
Social media reaction has been intense: some fans briefly feared retirement when they saw the opening of his PTPA statement on X, before realizing he was only leaving the association, not the sport. Others are reading his Adelaide withdrawal as the calculated move of a 38 year old legend picking his spots and betting everything on the Slams.
