The seventh-seeded Djokovic advances to the semifinals with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over the third-seeded Spaniard and will face the second-seeded Zverev next

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.

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