Carlos Alcaraz advanced to his first Australian Open semifinals with a straight-sets 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 win over Alex de Minaur on January 27, remaining undefeated in sets. He then overcame cramps and a late deficit to defeat Alexander Zverev in a record five-hour semifinal. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic reached the semifinals on January 28 when Lorenzo Musetti retired injured at 6-4, 6-3, 1-3 despite Djokovic's foot blister issues.

Alcaraz prevailed 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5, securing his first Australian Open crown, denying Djokovic his first final loss in Melbourne, and solidifying his world No. 1 ranking.
