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.

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.

The Spaniard pretended to have his own ailment during a changeover and insinuate Djokovic was faking a thigh injury during their Australian Open quarterfinal match.

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.

In a matchup more appropriate for a final, 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic prevails in four sets over reigning Wimbledon champ.

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.

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic have set up a quarterfinal showdown at the Australian Open. Tuesday's contest will be their eighth head-to-head matchup, but their first at Melbourne Park and their first that is neither a semifinal nor a final.

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.

Novak Djokovic has reportedly missed another training session as he continues to recover from a injury ahead of his Australian Open semi-final against Alexander Zverev on Friday.

If Andy Murray can claim some share of the acclaim for Novak Djokovic's extraordinary victory over Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday night, so too can Fearnley.
