Novak Djokovic showcased his legendary resilience by defeating world No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz in an intense quarterfinal at the Australian Open. Despite facing a leg injury and losing the first set, Djokovic rallied to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Alcaraz had been in strong form, but Djokovic's track record at the Australian Open is unmatched, having only lost four times in 15 years. This victory propels Djokovic closer to another historic major title, as he seeks to extend his record to 25 championships.
"For the umpteenth time in his career, Djokovic left his doubters and those who had prematurely written him off looking comically foolish, storming from a set down to defeat Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in a gripping quarterfinal battle."
"It didn't matter that this challenger had the fresher legs, having spent three hours fewer on the court this tournament. When it comes to Djokovic at the Australian Open, there's often an inevitability about the result."
