Alcaraz vs Zverev preview
No player still in contention at the Australian Open has spent more hours on court than Alexander Zverev at this stage of the tournament, but the German hasn't been tempted to reach for excuses ahead of today's quarter-final showdown with Carlos Alcaraz under the lights on Rod Laver Arena.
The 26-year-old, who's still seeking his maiden grand slam title, owns their head-to-head and has won three of their four previous hard court clashes, though their most recent meeting at a major was a chastening experience. Alcaraz swept his towering opponent aside in straight sets at Flushing Meadows last year, a match in which Zverev's tank simply ran dry.
Unfortunately for the No.6 seed, conditions could suffocate his key weapon. Zverev has rained down 66 aces so far, the fourth-highest total at the tournament, but the court tends to play slower in the evenings, making easy points harder to come by.
Alcaraz, playing his first AO quarter-final, has sailed through a favourable draw so far, and has the chance to emulate Novak Djokovic by becoming only the second man in the open era to reach the semis at all four majors before turning 21.
