MELBOURNE, Australia – Whatever the outcome of tonight’s men’s singles final at the Australian Open, history will be made.
The big question leading in is who will recover from the drama and effort of their semifinals on Friday.
With Alcaraz 16 years younger, you’d have to bet on him. OR DO YOU????
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
