Carlos Alcaraz Survives Injury Scare to Beat Alexander Zverev in AO Semifinal

Alcaraz beat Zverev 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-7(7), 6-7(4), 7-5 to reach the Australian Open final. He saved a second-set scare with a 7-6(5) tiebreak, then took a medical timeout for right-thigh discomfort at 5-4 in the third before dropping it in a breaker. He steadied in the fourth. Next: Djokovic or Sinner in the other semifinal later today.
