Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will square off again in a Grand Slam after both stars won their fourth-round matches Sunday at the Australian Open.

We are in for a treat on Tuesday at the Australian Open, as an absolute classic of a men’s quarterfinal match is in store. Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz met twice last year.

Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Tommy Paul all reached the 2025 Australian Open men's singles quarterfinals on Sunday. Ten-time champion Novak Djokovic reached his record-equaling 15th Australian Open quarterfinal after beating 24th seed Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic with 6-3, 6-4, and 7-6 (4) sets.

Novak Djokovic trampled all over Czech 24th seed Jiri Lehecka to seal a 6-3 6-4 7-6(4) win on Sunday and book a blockbuster clash with Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open quarterfinals.

Players of their grand stature are only supposed to meet at the pointy end of tournaments, like when Alcaraz denied the super Serb in the past two Wimbledon title deciders, before the 24-times major champ completed an elusive golden slam in Paris last August.

They have played each other seven times, with the Serb leading 4-3, including victory in their last clash in the Paris Olympics final. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Novak Djokovic appears to be growing into the tournament in an ominous sign for his rivals, as he pursues a record-extending 11th Melbourne crown and historic 25th Grand Slam title.
