Australian Open 2025: Djokovic outlasts Alcaraz to enter semis

The Hindu  

Novak Djokovic beat young rival Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4,6-3, 6-4 in a gladiatorial battle worthy of a title clash to charge into the Australian Open semifinals on Tuesday and remain in the hunt for a record 25th Grand Slam title. AS IT HAPPENED | Djokovic vs Alcaraz, Australian Open Highlights Having dropped his serve for a second time, Djokovic took an off-court medical timeout and returned with his left thigh taped up, but the seventh-seeded Serb could not prevent Alcaraz from holding to love with a big ace at the end to clinch the set. Djokovic was far more aggressive in the second and made several forays towards the net to reel off the first three games before producing a spectacular backhand overhead smash assisted by the net cord at one point, but Alcaraz pulled level at 3-3. Playing like a much younger version of himself, 10-time Melbourne Park champion Djokovic showed surgical precision to claim the set before breaking early in the next one to tighten his grip on the match.
