Australian Open 2024: when does Carlos Alcaraz play next? Opponent, time and date

Carlos Alcaraz had already made his own personal History at the 2024 Australian Open when he defeated Lorenzo Sonego in the second round, reaching the third round for the first time in his career. After subsequent victories over Jungcheng Shang and now Miomir Kecmanovic, the Spaniard has progressed to the quarter-finals, where he will line up alongside 10-time winner Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz.

Spaniard feeling fresh after straightforward victories

The 20-year-old has ultimately had a comfortable ride to the last eight, winning the two opening sets 6-1 in his third-round tie before Shang retired at the start of the third. On Monday, he had another relatively trouble-free contest against Kecmanovic, who was unable to muster even a single break point in a 4-6, 4-6, 0-6 defeat.

Alcaraz hit 43 winners (to the Serb’s 14) and converted five of nine break points (one in each of the two opening sets and three in the third, by which stage Kecmanovic already appeared resigned to his fate).

Having spent less than three hours on court to win his last two matches, Alcaraz should head into the quarter-finals feeling fresh as he goes after a third Grand Slam victory after the 2022 US Open and Wimbledon in 2023.

Alcaraz to play Alexander Zverev in Australian Open quarter-finals

In the last eight, the second seed will take on sixth seed Alexander Zverev, who, by contrast, needed over four hours to see off Cameron Norrie in five sets in round four. Alcaraz and Zverez will go head to head on Wednesday 24 January, although Australian Open organisers have yet to confirm at what time the match will begin.

The duo have met on seven previous occasions, with the 26-year-old German coming out on top four times to three. Their previous meetings in Grand Slams have ended in one win apiece, with Zverev triumphing by three sets to one at the 2022 French Open, while Alcaraz gained revenge at last year’s US Open, winning in straight sets.

2024 Australian Open quarter-final draw

  • Novak Djokovic (1) - Taylor Fritz (12)
  • Jannik Sinner (4) - Andrey Rublev (5)
  • Hubert Hurkacz (9) - Daniil Medvedev (3)
  • Carlos Alcaraz (2) - Alexadner Zverev (6)

Straw Hat Month (April 2023)

Quick facts When is it? Every April Tagged as Clothing Items & Things What's the hashtag? #StrawHatMonth Have we missed something? Straw hats have always had something of a pastoral air to them, from the conical straw hat commonly seen in rice fields to the wide-brimmed straw hats worn by ‘hayseed farmers’ in the Americas, straw hats say agriculture. What is largely unknown to many is how far back the History of the straw hat stretches. While some things may only get a single day of celebration dedicated to them, so important is the straw hat that it has an entire month dedicated to it! History of Straw Hat Month Straw Hats have appeared in cultures the world over, and have been made from just about every conceivable form of straw or grass as a result. Some of the most common are wheat straw hats, most commonly found in the Italian Peninsula, rush straws, palm leaves (did you know that a Palm Tree has much in common with grasses? Us either!) and of co

Euro 2024 qualifying play-off draw: teams, fixtures, hosts, dates…

The last international break of 2023 has come and gone, with anticipation starting to build head of the 2024 European Championship , which will be held in Germany in June and July next summer. 21 of the 24 participants are now known, with 12 teams to battle it out for the remaining three spots via the Euro 2024 qualifying playoffs. Which teams have qualified for Euro 2024? As hosts , Germany have been in since the word go, while all of Europe’s elite have safety booked their places at the finals. Poland and Ukraine , who joint hosted Euro 2012, are arguably the biggest names yet to have sealed qualification, but both still have an opportunity to do so. At the other end of the spectrum, Albania will feature in just their second ever European Championship, while World Cup regulars Serbia , incredibly enough, hadn’t qualified since they appeared as Yugoslavia all the way back in 2000. 20 teams qualified directly from the main qualifying group stage, with the top two countries fr
