Well, the night before every match I always try to eat sushi. I love it. I don't have a favorite place. I just try different things here in Melbourne. But the sushi's the right thing.

In his only third Australian Open, Alcaraz will now face a tough challenge from Zverev, who defeated Cameron Norrie 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (10-3) in the fourth round.

Tough decision. I've been eating every day at the Spanish restaurant. I think that's where I got the power.
