MADRID, 20 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Carlos Alcaraz remains firmly on the path to his first Australian Open, with which he seeks to win his first Grand Slam. But in the quarterfinals he will have the first level test of the season: Novak Djokovic. The Serbian will be the first special category port to overcome in his particular queen stage towards the first major of the season, since, presumably, Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner would be waiting for him in the semifinals and final, respectively.
The Rod Laver Arena will be the stage that will host, before almost 15,000 spectators, the eighth duel between the Serbian and the Spanish. The precedents are favorable to the 24-time Grand Slam winner, who has won four of the seven times they have faced each other. The last time they met was in the final of the Olympic Games, which ended up crowning Djokovic as the gold medalist on the courts of Roland Garros.
TIME AND WHERE TO WATCH ON TV
The match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, which will take place next Tuesday, January 21, will be played no earlier than 10:10 in the morning, Spanish peninsular time. The match will be played in the last slot of the day at the Rod Laver Arena, center court, and can be seen live on Eurosport 1 and the ‘MAX’ platform.
