Carlos Alcaraz is set to face Alexander Zverev in the 2026 Australian Open men’s singles semi-final. Carlos Alcaraz swept into the Australian Open semi-finals for the first time on Tuesday. Carlos silenced the Melbourne crowd by defeating an Australian on home soil.

Zverev, the third-ranked player in the tournament, won his quarterfinal match against Learner Tien. Although Zverev hasn’t been playing perfectly lately, his powerful serve saved him. He hit 24 “aces” (serves the opponent couldn’t even touch) to win the match three sets to one.
