Alcaraz Vs Borges: Spaniard Advances To The Next Round

Spaniard no 3, Carlos Alcaraz progressed to the fourth round at the Australian Open 2025 with a remarkable victory at the Rod Laver Arena beating Nuno Borges 6-2, 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2. Next up for Alcaraz is a fourth-round meeting with either Jack Draper or Aleksandar Vukic.
