Djokovic Survives Alcaraz Test to Reach 48th Grand Slam Semifinal

A combination of grit, experience, and resilience saw Novak Djokovic overcome a fierce challenge from Carlos Alcaraz to advance to his 48th Grand Slam semifinal

In a match that had all the ingredients of a classic, Novak Djokovic battled past a determined Carlos Alcaraz, winning 4:6, 6:4, 6:3, 6:4 in 3 hours and 35 minutes of intense drama. Early on, the Serbian star appeared vulnerable, struggling with a thigh injury that left him limping in the opening set.

Alcaraz seized on Djokovic’s discomfort to grab the first set, but the world number one wasn’t about to back down.

After a medical timeout and a few tense moments, Djokovic found his rhythm, and the tide quickly turned.

With unmatched mental toughness and physical stamina, he reeled off three straight sets, showing why he remains one of the game’s fiercest competitors. Key moments came during critical break points, where Djokovic’s experience made all the difference.

This win not only sees Djokovic reach his 48th Grand Slam semifinal but sets up an electrifying showdown with Germany’s Alexander Zverev. The two have clashed 12 times, with Djokovic holding an 8-4 advantage. But as always, nothing can be taken for granted with Djokovic, who is now firmly in pursuit of his 25th Grand Slam title.
