Video - Djokovic's huge set point against Alcaraz

Right now, on Rod Laver Arena, the Australian Open quarter-final clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic is taking place.

The winner of this summit duel will challenge Alexander Zverev for a place in the final. In a balanced match, the Serb got the better of the Spaniard in the third set.

After a game of cat-and-mouse, Djokovic broke, only to see Alcaraz regain his break point.

But the Serbian was resilient enough to regain his opponent's serve. And when it was time to wrap up, the two men came up with a beautiful set point.

Defending the point, Djokovic had to fend off a drop shot from Alcaraz before returning the ball with a backhand.

However, the four-time Grand Slam winner was unable to close from an attacking position, and Djokovic concluded with a deep backhand passing shot.

Alcaraz, caught short, was unable to straighten out the ball's path (see below).

To a standing ovation on Melbourne's Centre Court, Novak Djokovic took the lead and now leads two sets to one against his young rival. A point that brings him one step closer to a twelfth Australian Open semi-final.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

2nd for me this week.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
