Djokovic to face Alcaraz in last eight of Australian Open

NOVAK DJOKOVIC will take on Carlos Alcaraz in a blockbuster quarter-final at the Australian Open on Tuesday.

Alcaraz benefited from Jack Draper’s retirement after two sets of their clash before Djokovic defeated Czech Jiri Lehecka 6-3 6-4 7-6 (4).

It will be an eighth meeting overall and fourth at a grand slam between the Serbian and Spaniard, with Djokovic having triumphed in the semi-finals at the French Open in 2023, while Alcaraz has won the last two Wimbledon finals.
