Djokovic and Alcaraz will face off on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 3:30 a.m. ET.

Djokovic vs. Alcaraz Head to Head

Alcaraz has won two grand slams apiece at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. But so far, the Australian Open has eluded him; this year marks the first time he has advanced past the quarterfinals. For Djokovic’s part, the Australian Open is where he has thrived; he won 10 of his 24 Grand Slams on Melbourne’s hard courts.
