How to Watch Djokovic vs Musetti: Australian Open Quarterfinal

Read More on Affiliate Links

This Australian Open quarterfinal pits 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic against rising Italian Lorenzo Musetti at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Djokovic advanced to the last eight after a walkover in the fourth round when Jakub Mensik withdrew with an injury, preserving his energy for what could be a deep run toward a record 25th major title. The 38-year-old Serb is historically one of the best ever on hard courts, especially at Melbourne Park, where he’s a 10-time champion and recently notched his 400th Grand Slam match win. Musetti, the No. 5 seed, booked his quarterfinal spot with strong serving and clean shotmaking, firing 13 aces in his fourth-round victory and showing confidence and aggression throughout the tournament.

For fans in the United States, this match will air on ESPN2, with live streaming also available on ESPN+.

Djokovic’s head-to-head record against Musetti sits at 9–1 in his favor, and his hard-court dominance has shown in both Grand Slam and tour-level matches, including a recent ATP title win over Musetti in Athens. Musetti will look to test Djokovic’s rhythm with his one-handed backhand and creative shot variety, but overcoming Djokovic’s blend of precision, experience, and clutch play at a Grand Slam remains a tall order.

This is a great tennis matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
