Carlos Alcaraz Advances to Australian Open's Last 16

Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the Australian Open's last 16, defeating Portugal's Nuno Borges 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3/7), 6-2 at the Rod Laver Arena. The 21-year-old Spaniard aims to become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam in the Open Era, a feat last accomplished by Rafael Nadal at age 24 in 2010. Alcaraz, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is excited to return to center stage after his previous matches were held at the Margaret Court Arena. He expressed his love for the Australian crowd and his intent to entertain them with his play. Alcaraz has a tradition of commemorating his victories with tattoos symbolizing the host city's essence, and if he wins the Australian Open, he plans to get a kangaroo tattoo. His next match will be against either Jack Draper or Aleksandar Vukic, with a potential quarter-final clash against Novak Djokovic looming.
