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

Novak Djokovic dropped his first set, battled through an undisclosed injury and rallied to win the next three, beating rival Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 Australian Open quarterfinals.

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.
