The Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev live stream has all the makings of a semi-final classic at the 2025 Australian Open. Below we have all the information on how to watch Djokovic vs Zverev tennis from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and FREE streams.
The big question surrounding Djokovic after his four-set win over Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round is how his groin holds up. The 37-year-old – only the third player of that age to reach a Grand Slam semi-final in the Open era – received treatment for the injury in the first set and the discomfort seemed to crystallize the Serbian's mind to fight back against the precocious Spaniard. The 10-time champion at Melbourne Park has nothing but a record-breaking 25th major in his mind.
Zverev, meanwhile, is still searching for that first Grand Slam to truly take the next step into the elite ranks. Now 27, the German will appear in his second Melbourne semi-final in a row and will be desperate to exorcize the ghost of 2024's defeat to Daniil Medvedev having led by two sets to love. Nearly as spiky as his opponent – he had a meltdown in the quarter-final defeat of Tommy Paul over an errant feather on court – Zverev has four wins to Djokovic's eight in their head-to-head history, but the pair haven't met in nearly two years.
Which will win: Zverev's big game or Djokovic relentless movement? Can Zverev overcome a tendency to crumble under big-pressure moments? Australia is now waking up and this massive match will be coming up soon.
