Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s 2025 Australian Open quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
There is plenty on the line today. Djokovic, 37, is aiming to win a record-extending 11th Australian Open title. He last won the tournament in 2023 although fell to reigning champion Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals last year.
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.
