Andy Murray has been labelled ‘pure class’ for consoling Carlos Alcaraz after Tuesday’s Australian Open quarter-final defeat to Novak Djokovic. Murray is currently working as part of Djokovic’s coaching team at Melbourne Park – but has always spoken highly of the young Spanish star.

Novak Djokovic headed straight to his former rival-turned-coach Andy Murray after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open quarterfinals.

It was perhaps legitimate to expect something more from Carlos Alcaraz in the big quarterfinal match of the 2025 Australian Open against Novak Djokovic. The young Spanish champion – who dreamed of winning the only Major title he still lacks – played a lackluster and very fluctuating match on the Rod Laver Arena against the ten-time champion of this tournament.
