It was the final of a Grand Slam and the Olympic Games, although it was a matchup that had never taken place at the Australian Open. This time there is no title in the middle, indeed the winner still has a lot to grind to lift the trophy at Melbourne Park. In the semis I will expect the German Alexander Zverev and if not the American Tommy Pauland in the final is the current champion and world number 1, the Italian Jannik Sinner.
The ranking of Novak Djokovic37 years old and number 7, contains that risk, a crossing like it happened in front of number 3, Carlos Alcaraz. Both, in their performance, signed their confrontation.
This will be the eighth series in which ‘Nole’ prevails 4-3, after 1-1 in 2024 with Alcaraz’s victory in the Wimbledon final and Djokovic’s victory in the fight for gold at Paris 2024, on clay from at Roland Garros.
On the hard court there are two precedents, both in favor of Djokovic, in Cincinnati and the ATP Finals in Turin in 2023.
Although between two very good players, every game is a different story. Djokovic is at home, where he has won ten of his twenty-four Grand Slams, Alcaraz wants to cover it and add more Slams to his record, making him the youngest to achieve this.
A very interesting fight, one that attracts everyone’s attention. The day is set, it will follow Tuesday January 21. The official schedule will be announced this Monday, although for reference there is a session of star matches, 9 am Spanish peninsular time. The local afternoon session. It could be at 9 or on the second shift, around 11.
To watch it on television, Eurosport, which broadcasts the entire tournament and can be seen on several operators. Also covered in streaming Max. You can also follow him live on the Mundo Deportivo website.
