Djokovic, at 37 years old, continues to defy the passage of time. Despite pre-tournament scepticism about his physical condition and the emergence of younger stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the Serbian legend has once again proven why he’s one of the greatest in the sport.
His quarter-final victory over Alcaraz was a testament to his enduring mental fortitude and tactical brilliance, cementing his status as the favourite heading into the semi-finals. However, Djokovic has admitted concerns about his physical readiness, which could play a crucial role in this showdown.
On the other side of the net stands Alexander Zverev, a man on a mission to end his Grand Slam drought. The 27-year-old German has now reached nine Grand Slam semi-finals—the most in the Open Era for a player yet to win a major title.
Zverev’s powerful serve, aggressive baseline play, and current form make him a formidable opponent, and the Melbourne conditions seem to suit his game perfectly. However, the weight of his unwanted record adds psychological pressure, making this match not just a physical battle but a mental one as well.
The head-to-head dynamic also adds intrigue. Djokovic holds the advantage in their previous meetings, but Zverev’s recent performances suggest he’s capable of challenging the Serbian maestro.
