World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has reached his first Australian Open final after overcoming Alexander Zverev in a five-set epic. Who will he play on Sunday evening?

Carlos Alcaraz is one step away from completing the career grand slam after defeating Alexander Zverev 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-7 (4), 7-5 in a five-set thriller in an Australian Open semifinal that took more than five fours to complete on Friday.

Carlos Alcaraz says he did not bend the rules by taking a medical timeout which angered Alexander Zverev during their epic Australian Open semi-final.

In Sunday’s Australian Open final, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz has the chance to become the member of a very exclusive club.

When Carlos Alcaraz announced his split from long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero after seven transformative years, fans were stunned. Ferrero had guided Alcaraz from a 15-year-old prodigy to a global force.

Anyone who thought the young Spanish ace would struggle in the absence of Juan Carlos Ferrero was wrong, as the 22-year-old from Murcia reached the semifinals without dropping a single set. He has finally played his best tennis in a tournament where he had disappointed in the past, never advancing beyond the quarterfinals.
