After defeating four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open 2025 quarter-final, twenty four-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic said, "I just wish that this match today was the finals." "It's one of...most epic matches I've played on this court, on any court, really," Djokovic added. He became first man to reach 50 singles' semi-finals in Grand Slams.
