Carlos Alcaraz demolished unseeded Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic to storm into the Australian Open quarterfinals on January 22 as Daniil Medvedev stayed on track for a third final in four years.
The Spanish second seed, who will next face sixth seed Alexander Zverev, is locked in a fierce battle with Novak Djokovic for the world number one spot and is also after his Melbourne crown.
The two-time Grand Slam winner produced some scintillating baseline hitting at Rod Laver Arena to sweep Kecmanovic aside 6-4, 6-4, 6-0 in one hour 49 minutes.
