Carlos Alcaraz once again met John Jones, the kid who has been melting everyone’s heart at the Australian Open. The kid, who broke the internet during Alcaraz’s third-round match against Nuno Borges on Friday, waved Alcaraz a goodbye at the warm-up area ahead of his quarterfinal clash with Novak Djokovic.
John will never forget the day when he met Alcaraz for the first time. He was among hundreds of kids who came to Melbourne to take part in the Hot Shots Day. Before the Alcaraz versus Borges match, it was John who tossed the coin and was overjoyed when Alcaraz won the toss.
He had a high-five with Alcaraz and posed for the camera with the two players. John then skipped happily off the court and waved at the crowd inside the Rod Laver Arena to their delight.
John then had another meeting with Alcaraz after the 21-year-old’s match against Borges. The kid probably had eased Alcaraz’s nerves when he met the Spaniard before his clash with the 24-time Grand Slam champion on Tuesday (January 21).

Alcaraz is bidding to become the youngest player to achieve the Career Grand Slam, as he already bagged the 2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon, and the 2024 French Open. At the Australian Open, he has never succeeded in progressing to the semifinal and was defeated in four sets last year.
Novak Djokovic on the other hand, is chasing his 25th Grand Slam title. After scripting history in 2023 with three majors, he failed to lift any in 2024 but came close to clinching the Wimbledon which he lost to Alcaraz in the final.
That was their last meeting on the ATP Tour. But after that, they met in the 2024 Paris Olympics, which the 37-time Grand Slam champion won in straight sets.
The 10-time Grand Slam champion, who beat Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round, is 4-3 in their head-to-head meeting. At the Australian Open last year, he lost to current World No.1 Jannik Sinner in four sets in the semifinals.
