Djokovic Sets up Blockbuster Match
with Alcaraz
Melbourne, 19 Jan (ONA) — Novak
Djokovic set up a mouth-watering Australian Open quarter-final against Carlos
Alcaraz with a convincing victory over Jiri Lehecka.
Djokovic continued his bid for a
record 25th Grand Slam title with a 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-4) win against the Czech
24th seed.
He will face Alcaraz in the last
eight after the Spaniard progressed when British number one Jack Draper retired
with a hip injury earlier on Sunday, BBC sports reported.
Alcaraz has beaten Djokovic in the
past two Wimbledon finals, but the Serb got the better of the 21-year-old to
win gold at the Paris Olympics last summer – Djokovic’s self-proclaimed
“biggest sporting achievement”.
Djokovic was booed by the crowd as
Lehecka threatened to force a fourth set, and the 11-time Australian Open
champion was quick to leave Rod Laver Arena after his victory.
