MELBOURNE, Australia -- It's time for the eighth installment of the riveting, intergenerational rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. This one, though, will be the first at the Australian Open — and the first in the quarterfinals of a tournament; each of the others came in either a semifinal or final.
Alcaraz - on the other hand - has already packed his bags and left for Spain on Wednesday. His next tournament will be the Rotterdam ATP 500, which will take place from 3 to 9 February. Unlike previous years, the Spanish ace has opted for a different schedule by skipping the tournaments on red clay in South America.
At 21 years and 266 days, Carlos hoped to become the youngest player ever to win all four Grand Slam titles. The Spaniard will still have a year to break this record, which is currently held by Don Budge. The latter was 22 years and 363 days old when he won the French Open in 1938.
