The 24-time major champion lost one of his tennis records to the world No. 1 on Sunday.

However, last year, Djokovic agreed to take part in US Open's two-day mixed doubles event with Olga Danilovic. The Serbian duo ended up losing in the first round, in what was the 38-year-old's first Grand Slam mixed doubles appearance since the 2006 Australian Open.

Fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti produced an inspired display to ease past American Taylor Fritz 6-2 7-5 6-4 at Rod Laver Arena and reach the Australian Open quarter-finals for the first time, setting up a meeting with 10-times champion Novak Djokovic.

As the Spaniard joked, he has the contract that the Serb sent him, although he has yet to sign it. Jokes aside, Alcaraz's serve has been noticeably calmer in Melbourne, with the world's best player getting broken five times from 14 chances offered to his first four rivals.
