If Djokovic recovers and plays without issues, it should be a cracking duel between two great friends. The Serb fought well against the Spaniard in the quarter-final when he restored his movement. Alcaraz lost his focus and sprayed too many errors to send the legend through.

Djokovic moved into Australian Open semifinals for the 12th time with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Alcaraz.
