Among those tipped to challenge Djokovic for the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup is Carlos Alcaraz, who won the French Open and Wimbledon last year. At 21 years and 266 days on the day of the men’s singles final, Alcaraz could become the youngest male player of all-time to achieve the career grand slam.

Novak Djokovic may be 37, but the 24-time Grand Slam champion can never be counted out as he aims to make more history in Melbourne.
