Tennis legend Novak Djokovic advanced to yet another Australian Open quarterfinal, defeating Czech player Jiri Lehecka in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(4). The victory sets up an eagerly anticipated clash with young Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz.

The 37-year-old Serbian’s win carries historical significance, as he now shares the record for most Australian Open quarterfinal appearances (15) with Roger Federer. This achievement puts them one ahead of fellow tennis greats Rafael Nadal and John Newcombe. Additionally, Djokovic extended his overall record for major quarterfinal appearances to 61, surpassing Federer’s 58.
