Novak Djokovic secured a place in the Australian Open quarter-finals with a commanding straight-sets victory, setting up a highly anticipated clash with Carlos Alcaraz.

Simultaneously, Aryna Sabalenka, the women’s world number one, continued her dominant performance, progressing smoothly through the tournament. If both succeed in the quarter-finals, Sabalenka could meet Coco Gauff, the in-form world number three.

On the tournament’s hottest day yet, with temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius (93 Fahrenheit), Alcaraz advanced when Britain’s Jack Draper retired due to injury. Djokovic then maintained his momentum, winning 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) against Czech 24th seed Jiri Lehecka in the prime-time match on Rod Laver Arena.

Djokovic shows signs of peak form as he chases an unprecedented 11th Melbourne title and a historic 25th Grand Slam title. After dropping a set in each of his first two matches, he won his last two matches in straight sets, growing strength.

Carlos Alcaraz & Novak Djokovic will face each other in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

The blockbuster we’ve all been hoping for.

Djokovic holds a slight edge over Alcaraz in their head-to-head record, leading 4-3, including a win in their last encounter at the Paris Olympics final. However, they have never faced off at Melbourne Park, where Djokovic has enjoyed tremendous success. Alcaraz praised Djokovic, noting his rejuvenated form and expressing his determination. He even joked about getting a kangaroo tattoo if he wins his first Australian Open.

Alcaraz was leading 7-5, 6-1 when Draper, who had survived three five-set matches, was forced to withdraw, citing physical toll.

In other matches, American 12th seed Tommy Paul decisively beat Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, dropping only three games. Paul’s next opponent will be German second seed Alexander Zverev. Zverev overcame a challenging match against France’s Ugo Humbert to win 6-1, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. Zverev is determinedly pursuing his first Grand Slam title.

On the women’s side, Sabalenka performed strongly against Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva, winning 6-1, 6-2. The Belarusian star thrived in the hotter conditions, which helped her powerful game. She is now set to face Russian 27th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Coco Gauff, after a comeback win against Belinda Bencic, will face Spain’s 11th seed Paula Badosa. Gauff, seeking her first Melbourne title, is confident in her physical and mental preparation. At the same time, Badosa is eager for “revenge” in their upcoming encounter, setting the stage for a thrilling match.
