Novak Djokovic vs Dino Prizmic live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Italian Open 2026

Djokovic will play his first professional match since losing to Jack Draper at Indian Wells.

Novak Djokovic returns to action at the 2026 Italian Open with plenty to prove as the Serbian legend begins his campaign for a seventh Rome crown.

Playing his first match since Indian Wells in March, the 24-time Grand Slam champion will look to regain momentum ahead of the clay-court season’s biggest challenge at French Open.

With defending champion Carlos Alcaraz out of the tournament, Djokovic has a major opportunity to make a deep run in the Italian capital.

Standing across the net will be rising Croatian talent Dino Prizmic, who arrives with confidence after battling through qualifying and defeating Marton Fucsovics in the opening round.

The 20-year-old already pushed Djokovic hard during their memorable clash at the 2024 Australian Open, where he managed to take a set off the Serbian great and announced himself on the big stage. Djokovic’s experience and outstanding record in Rome still make him the clear favourite.

The Serbian owns a remarkable 68-12 record at the Foro Italico and remains one of the most successful players in Masters 1000 history.

However, questions remain over his match sharpness after a limited 2026 schedule that has seen him play only two tournaments so far this season.

For Prizmic, this match presents another huge learning opportunity and a chance to produce the biggest win of his young career.

The Croatian has shown impressive composure throughout qualifying and defeated Márton Fucsovics in his opening main-draw round.

If the Serbian starts slowly after his long layoff, Prizmic may fancy his chances of making the contest far more competitive than many expect.
