Novak Djokovic has come back to defeat Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the Australian Open semifinals for the 12th time.
Alcaraz - on the other hand - has already packed his bags and left for Spain on Wednesday. His next tournament will be the Rotterdam ATP 500, which will take place from 3 to 9 February.
