Novak Djokovic overcame injury and losing the opening set in a brilliant victory over Carlos Alcaraz, in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open. Djokovic, who is chasing a record-extending 11th Australian Open title, fought back to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 against his 21-year-old opponent.

If Djokovic recovers and plays without issues, it should be a cracking duel between two great friends. The Serb fought well against the Spaniard in the quarter-final when he restored his movement. Alcaraz lost his focus and sprayed too many errors to send the legend through.

Djokovic’s four-set victory over his young rival sets up a semifinal with second-seeded Alexander Zverev and keeps alive his hope of a record 25th Grand Slam title.

When you draw the 10-time Australian Open champ, you start preparing for your weekend tee time. Just ask Carlos Alcaraz.

Novak Djokovic is chasing history after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a grueling 3 1/2-hour match in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open on Tuesday.

Carlos Alcaraz is out of the 2025 Australian Open, and it’s thanks to a legend. Novak Djokovic was seeded seventh in the draw this year, and he faced Alcaraz — No. 3 in the tournament — in the quarterfinals at Rod Laver Arena.

A pulsating 33-shot rally that left both men barely able to stand helped him save virtual match point at 2-4 15-40, but Alcaraz could not break the Djokovic serve and the 37-year-old roared in delight after a final backhand from the Spaniard hit the net.

It is no mystery that Carlos Alcaraz had very important ambitions for this edition of the 2025 Australian Open. The former world No. 1 had worked hard in the off-season to play his best tennis at Melbourne Park and had succeeded in doing so in the first week of the Happy Slam.

Jannik Sinner's coach Darren Cahill was full of praise for Novak Djokovic following his big win over Carlos Alcaraz, declaring it "one of the greatest performances." On Tuesday, the record 10-time Australian Open champion came back from a set down to beat the third-seeded Spaniard 4-6 6-4 6-3 6-4 and reach his 12th semifinal at Melbourne Park.
