Novak Djokovic wins clash against Carlos Alcaraz and will meet Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals of the Australian Open

For Novak Djokovic, down to seventh seed, it was a matter of staying in the race against a new generation, certainly respectful, but who does not hesitate to step on him as soon as possible. And then there is this quest for the 25th Grand Slam title which would place him alone at the top of tennis history. In short, the man is on a mission and he put all the chances on his side by arriving early in Australia (he played in the Brisbane tournament) and integrating Andy Murray into his team. For Alcaraz, it was about aiming for the career Grand Slam (at only 21 years old) and performing, finally, in a tournament where he has not yet made it past the quarter-finals. Anything but a trivial match, therefore.
