Professional Tennis Legend,at age 37-year-old put to bed any lingering questions about how he’d deal with the exuberance of his 21-year-old foe, with Mr.Djokovic defeating Alcaraz in four sets to advance to the semifinals in Melbourne.
Before the most anticipated match of the 2025 Australian Open— to be sure, of this next calendar year—the question of age loomed. Would Novak Djokovic at age 37 be able to overcome the youthful exuberance of his 21-year-old opponent, Carlos Alcaraz?
Perhaps, in retrospect, the question should've been flipped on its head. Would Alcaraz have the maturity and composure to compete with the accumulated experience of the man on the other side of the Tennis Court net?
For the first 45 minutes, the situation looked grim for Djokovic as Alcaraz scored a break of serve and closed out the first set with his youthful and powerful tennis.
Compounding matters, Djokovic looked to be contending with a leg injury. however. Physical malady doesn’t stop Djokovic, it just encourages him to switch tactics. Shortening points and dialing in his serve by necessity, he stole the second set, won the third and scored an early break in the fourth.
After one of the most sensational points you’ve ever seen went to Alcaraz, Djokovic was left panting on the sidelines. But, as ever, he got a second wind and closed out this victory, his 382nd in a major, in a match that spanned 3 hours and 37 minutes, ending past 1 a.m. local time.
Another remarkable performance, and in what must be considered at least a semiclassic quarterfinal, Djokovic defeated Alcaraz at the Australian Open, (4–6, 6–4), (6–3, 6–4). It was a rollicking win for the 10-time champion,which Potentially puts him two matches away from setting the all-time record, male and female, for majors won with 25.
