The third seed could become the first man to win all four majors at least three times.
But if he is going to do that he must come through his toughest test yet when he meets us open champion Alcaraz in the last four on Friday.
“this match is what everyone wants to watch and it will be a good one to play,” said world number one Alcaraz.
“if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Djokovic is one of the best in the world and i’m looking forward to it.”
