Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz (ranked No. 1) and Serbian Novak Djokovic will face off on Sunday in a historic final of the Australian Open, with the winner set to make history. Alcaraz, who reached the final by defeating German Alexander Zverev (No. 3) in an unforgettable semifinal, played for nearly five and a half hours while battling cramps and even considered retiring. Despite this, he staged a remarkable comeback to win the match. If he wins, the 22-year-old Alcaraz would become the youngest player in the Open Era to complete the Career Grand Slam by winning all four major tournaments. However, his path is challenging, as he will face Djokovic, the greatest and most successful tennis player in history. Djokovic, who will turn 39 in a few months, achieved what seemed impossible by defeating Italian Jannik Sinner (ranked No. 2) in an incredible five-set match that lasted just over four hours. This will be their tenth encounter, with Djokovic leading the head-to-head 5–4, and their fifth meeting in a final.
