Carlos Alcaraz vs Alexander Zverev, Australian Open 2026, men’s singles semifinal Live Updates: The first semi-final between World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Alexander Zverev is currently underway at Rod Laver Arena.
The first set is evenly poised at 4-4 after a neck-and-neck battle that has seen both men hold serve with clinical precision. While Zverev’s sky-high serving stats make him a legitimate threat, especially if the roof is closed, Alcaraz has warned his rival that he will have to “sweat a lot” to stop a Spaniard who appears to have reached a higher plane of tennis since their last meeting down under.
