Mats Wilander gives two reasons why he thinks Novak Djokovic could beat Carlos Alcaraz in the Australian Open quarter-final

The Serbian legend won that battle last summer to complete the Golden Slam, although that came after he lost the 2024 Wimbledon final to the Spaniard for the second year running.
