–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are still alive, and will play their fourth-round matches on Sunday.

If they both win, it’s quarterfinal time (already? Yes). And if they both win, they will face each other.

It was an unfortunate consequence of the draw, to be sure. But a blockbuster matchup.

But first, Alcaraz has to get through Jack Draper – who had played three five-setters in a row to get there, and couldn’t finish the day.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET).
