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

The 37-year-old put to bed any lingering questions about how he’d deal with the exuberance of his 21-year-old foe, with Djokovic defeating Alcaraz in four sets to advance to the semifinals in Melbourne.

Carlos Alcaraz is out of the 2025 Australian Open, and it’s thanks to a legend. Novak Djokovic was seeded seventh in the draw this year, and he faced Alcaraz — No. 3 in the tournament — in the quarterfinals at Rod Laver Arena.
