The quarterfinals begin on day 10 of the Australian Open with Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic meeting again in another grand slam showdown tonight.Paula Badosa def Coco Gauff 7-5, 6-4 Aryna Sabalenka vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova not before 7pm on Rod Laver ArenaSo much history is on the line as 21-year-old Alcaraz, bidding to become the youngest man to complete a career grand slam , stands in the way of an unprecedented 25th major singles crown for Djokovic.
"Two of the best players that have ever touched a tennis racquet, Novak is the greatest of all time right now. Carlos is going to be one of them when he hangs it up so it is a clash of generation. At one point in the match, it looked like a feather incident would derail his poise, but he charged through."I should've been down two sets to love, he played better than me, but somehow I won the first and second set and I only needed one more," he said.He was also asked about how it felt to play during the day, given his other matches were scheduled in the night session.
During the third game, the crowd laughed as more feathers fell onto the court. They're coming from all the birds in the rafters.Here we go again! Tiebreak bonanza on RLA as Zverev and Paul battle it out.2-0 to Zverev: Zverev's dominant 205 km/h first serve down the T proves too much for Paul to handle.5-0 to Zverev: Paul opts for a risky forehand but he goes long.
We're a 5-4 with Zverev now serving. And he's able to consolidate. We're back on serve and it's looking like we're heading to another tiebreak...The other day, John delivered an enthusiastic coin toss at an Alcaraz match and skipped merrily off the court once he'd fulfilled the task. Zverev looks a little tight and anxious out there in regard to strategy and where he should be placing his points. He's been talking to his team quite a lot which to me, shows how badly he wants a grand slam under his belt.This match has all the makings of a blockbuster battle that features two players who have been in outstanding form on a consistent basis dating all the way back to 2023.
