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.

It was perhaps legitimate to expect something more from Carlos Alcaraz in the big quarterfinal match of the 2025 Australian Open against Novak Djokovic. The young Spanish champion – who dreamed of winning the only Major title he still lacks – played a lackluster and very fluctuating match on the Rod Laver Arena against the ten-time champion of this tournament.
