Australian Open live: Alcaraz and Djokovic prepare to compete in major final

MELBOURNE, Australia — World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will face off in a significant Australian Open final on Sunday evening.

Both Alcaraz and Djokovic are pursuing historical achievements at Melbourne Park. If the Spaniard wins, he will become the youngest male player ever to achieve the career Slam by winning all four Grand Slam titles. For Djokovic, securing an 11th Australian Open title would extend his record and give him the most major titles, surpassing the current tie he holds with Margaret Court.

In a notable match yesterday, world No. 5 Elena Rybakina rallied from a 0-3 deficit in the third set to defeat top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. This victory marked her second Grand Slam title and served as redemption for her previous losses to Sabalenka in the finals of the 2023 Australian Open and the 2021 Wimbledon.
