Novak Djokovic reached the Australian Open quarterfinals without striking a ball Sunday after his last-16 opponent Jakub Mensik withdrew.
The pair were due to play in a night match on centre court on Monday, but “super sad” Czech star Mensik pulled out injured.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz stepped up his bid for a maiden Australian Open title with a masterclass to reach the quarterfinals on Sunday by dismissing the American Tommy Paul.
The six-time Grand Slam champion won 7-6 (8/6), 6-4, 7-5 to equal his best run in Melbourne and is yet to drop a set.
