Probably change a little bit if it is a final, obviously. Being in a quarterfinal, I\u2019m going to approach the match the same as I did in the previous matches against him, and let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p>\n In the times they\u2019ve played each other in the past, Novak<\/strong> leads 4-3, but Carlos<\/strong> is ahead 2-1 at the majors. They even played against each other at the Olympics<\/a> last year, where Novak<\/strong> took the gold after beating Carlos<\/strong>, who got silver.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I think about everything he has done in tennis, I couldn\u2019t play. I mean, 24 Grand Slams, the most weeks at No. 1 \u2014 everything. He almost broke every record in tennis. I\u2019m trying not to think about that when I\u2019m in the match. I\u2019m just trying \u2026 to beat him,\u201d Carlos<\/strong> shared, via ESPN<\/em>. \u201cI know my weapons. I know that [if] I\u2019m able to play good tennis against him, I\u2019m able to beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n Browse through the gallery to see 20+ photos of Carlos Alcaraz practicing at the Australian Open\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
