Novak Djokovic began his 2025 Australian Open campaign with a hard-fought win over Nishesh Basavareddy in the opening round.
Building on that momentum, he delivered commanding performances against Jaime Faria in the second round and Tomas Machac in the third, firmly cementing his place in the fourth round of the tournament.
Just 48 hours after a dominant win over Machac, the ten-time champion demonstrated his trademark consistency and composure against rising Czech star Jiri Lehecka. The Serbian legend handled the challenge with ease, advancing smoothly through the bottom half of the draw.
In the high-stakes quarterfinal against Carlos Alcaraz, he showcased his resilience. After dropping the first set, the Serbian great rallied to take the next three, overpowering the Spaniard and securing a spot in the semifinals. He now prepares for a showdown against second seed Alexander Zverev.
One of the greatest ever to grace the sport, Djokovic is chasing his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam at the 2025 Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on Sunday. The 37-year-old has a great track record at the tournament, having already won a record 10 Australian Open titles.
However, it will be a herculean task for Djokovic with a semi-final against World No. 2 Alexander Zverev in the semis looming.
