Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic have set up a quarterfinal showdown at the Australian Open. Tuesday's contest will be their eighth head-to-head matchup, but their first at Melbourne Park and their first that is neither a semifinal nor a final.

Carlos Alcaraz passed on a touching get-well-soon message to Jack Draper and backed the British number one to ‘come back stronger’ after he retired midway through their fourth-round meeting at the Australian Open.

Djokovic has beaten Alcaraz four times in seven overall meetings, including a victory in the final at the Paris Olympics last August

Carlos Alcaraz reached his second Australian Open quarter-final on Sunday when his opponent Jack Draper retired injured when trailing 7-5 6-1.

Novak Djokovic has received the apologies he wanted from the Australian Open’s local broadcaster and its employee who insulted him on the air

The No. 3-seeded Alcaraz was ahead 7-5, 6-1 when Draper decided he couldn't continue. He'd been dealing with physical issues after winning each of his first three matches at Melbourne Park in five sets.

Djokovic versus Alcaraz is a blockbuster quarterfinal matchup -- and one worthy of the Australian Open final. Who will win? We take a closer look.

The Australian Open quarter-finals begin on Tuesday and fans are expected to pack Rod Laver Arena when 10-times champion Novak Djokovic meets Carlos Alcaraz, who is bidding to complete a career Grand Slam.
