Can Alex de Minaur finally beat Carlos Alcaraz?
The atmosphere is building nicely around Melbourne Park ahead of this evening’s crunch men’s singles quarter-finals match.
Hometown hero Alex de Minaur takes on world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz at Rod Laver Arena in just under 30 minutes time.
Neither player has reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, with the victor set to square off against Alexander Zverev in the next round.
Alcaraz can take a step closer to securing his first Career Grand Slam if he can best De Minaur tonight. Meanwhile, the hard-running Australian has never advanced past the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam in his career.
The pair have met five times previously but De Minaur has never once beaten Alcaraz.
Can he do it tonight?
