Novak Djokovic cheated time again as he overcame the young sensation Carlos Alcaraz in a performance to rank with anything he produced against former rivals such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Alcaraz and Djokovic are highlight reels and attention magnets. When they play each other, every ounce of energy is on the task at hand
When you draw the 10-time Australian Open champ, you start preparing for your weekend tee time. Just ask Carlos Alcaraz.
Novak Djokovic produced a vintage performance to beat Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open quarterfinals on Tuesday, moving one step closer towards winning a record-breaking 25th grand slam singles title.
In a matchup more appropriate for a final, 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic prevails in four sets over reigning Wimbledon champ.
Carlos Alcaraz admitted that he made a “big mistake” in his Australian Open quarter-final defeat to Novak Djokovic when he saw his opponent was struggling with injury during the second set.
Djokovic said he wanted an apology from Channel 9 and Tony Jones, who called the 24-time Grand Slam champion overrated and a has-been during an on-air appearance at Melbourne Park.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, is attempting to become the youngest man in the history of the sport to complete a career Grand Slam. The 21-year-old won the US Open in 2022, Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024 and the French Open in 2024. But he has never reached the final four in Melbourne.
At 37 years old, Djokovic becomes only the third player in the Open Era to reach an Australian Open semi-final at that age, joining the ranks of Ken Rosewall and Roger Federer. This victory also marked his first win over a Top 10 player at a major since 2023 when he defeated Daniil Medvedev to capture his 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open.
Everyone loves a great crowd and atmosphere but the Australian Open has been blighted by a minority of fans yelling out during serves and points. Most of the time it's an intoxicated Kevin from Thomastown who is trying to get heard by his mates watching on the television at home.
