The game is about to begin! The players finished warming up to a packed Rod Laver Arena to enjoy a match that promises to be epic. Djokovic starts to serve
On the fast surface, Djokovic defeated Alcaraz in the final of the Cincinnati Masters 1,000 in 2023 and in the penultimate round of the Nitto ATP Finals held the same year in the Italian city of Turin
The one from Belgrade beat the other from El Palmar four games, two on hard court and two on clay. Paris has witnessed Nole’s two wins over Carlos in the 2023 Roland Garros semifinals and, most recently, in the final of the Olympic Games last summer, which was the last precedent for the two meeting.
The Murcian’s three victories against the Serbian in their private duels have come on grass –the Wimbledon finals in 2023 and 2024– and in clay –the semifinal they played in the Madrid Masters 1,000 in 2022-
The veteran Serbian player, 37 years old and currently seventh in the ATP rankings, won 10 of his 24 Grand Slam titles at the oceanic tournamentthe most wins there, and four more US Open trophies, also on clay
But hey, let’s get down to business. Alcaraz faces the challenge of beating Djokovic on his home turf, on fast courts, and more specifically at Rod Laver Arenathe headquarters of Melbourne Park, which can be said to be like your home garden
The winner of Alcaraz-Djokovic also has an opponent in the semifinals. It will be Alexander Zverev, who beat Tommy Paul a few hours ago 7-6(1), 7-6(0), 2-6, 6-1
They will face the Catalans in the penultimate round, on Thursday morning, Aryna Sabalenkathat just lost Pavlyuchenkova 6-2, 2-6, 6-3
And all this happens on a day marked by the success of Paula Badosa, who qualified for the semifinals earlier in the day after defeating Coco Gauff 7-5, 6-4
The game starts around 11:30, when they finish playing today Aryna Sabalenka and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. So far, they are tied in the third set (6-2, 2-6, 3-3)
