Rod Laver Arena: Carlos Alcaraz has said he fancies a crack at dethroning Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open 2024, starting on Sunday.

Novak Djokovic, the maestro of Melbourne with a staggering 10 titles to his name, embarked on his quest for a 25th Grand Slam title against the resilient qualifier Dino Prizmic. As the iconic Rod Laver Arena witnessed the opening day's battles, Alcaraz, the second seed, braced himself for a face-off against French veteran Richard Gasquet in the first round.

The narrative between Alcaraz and Djokovic had unfolded in compelling chapters the previous year. The Serbian claimed victory in their Roland Garros semi-final clash, exploiting a bout of crippling cramps that struck Alcaraz early in the third set. However, the Spaniard sought redemption at Wimbledon, securing his second Grand Slam in a mesmerizing five-set epic.
