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

MELBOURNE, Australia -- It's time for the eighth installment of the riveting, intergenerational rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. This one, though, will be the first at the Australian Open — and the first in the quarterfinals of a tournament; each of the others came in either a semifinal or final.

Djokovic has beaten Alcaraz four times in seven overall meetings, including a victory in the final at the Paris Olympics last August

On Friday, Djokovic’s 50th major semifinal will come against No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev, a two-time runner-up at majors who beat No. 12 Tommy Paul 7-6 (1), 7-6 (0), 2-6, 6-1. The other men’s quarterfinals are Wednesday: No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 8 Alex de Minaur, and No. 21 Ben Shelton against unseeded Lorenzo Sonego.

Novak Djokovic produced yet another scarcely believable comeback to stun Carlos Alcaraz in a thriller and reach the Australian Open semi-finals.

At 37 years old, Djokovic becomes only the third player in the Open Era to reach an Australian Open semi-final at that age, joining the ranks of Ken Rosewall and Roger Federer. This victory also marked his first win over a Top 10 player at a major since 2023 when he defeated Daniil Medvedev to capture his 24th Grand Slam title at the US Open.
