Novak Djokovic got the mea culpas he wanted from the Australian Open's local broadcaster and its employee who insulted him on the air and so, according to tournament organizers, the 24-time Grand Slam champion is ready to concentrate on his quarterfinal showdown with Carlos Alcaraz.

Australian broadcaster Tony Jones has apologized to Novak Djokovic for comments he says were intended to be “banter” and “humor.”

Djokovic does it again – defying predictions, the years and an injury to outlast 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, who is still missing only the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup from his major collection.
