Alcaraz loses cool over umpire call

Alcaraz lost his cool over an umpire call in the second set during the match. The Spaniard didn't hold back at all and showed his displeasure to the chair umpire immediately.

The umpire made a let call but the Spanish player lost his cool for time taken during the serves following the chair umpire's call.

"It was five seconds late. It's crazy," said Alcaraz looking totally furious.

"I know it's let, but you stopped when he stopped," shouted the 21-year-old thrice as the crowd booed him at the Rod Laver arena.

Djokovic has won Australian Open 10 times, French Open three times, US Open four times, and Wimbledon seven times and is chasing the elusive 25th grand slam.

Alcaraz, on the other hand, has won four grand slam titles including one US Open, one Wimbledon and two French Opens - he'll be eager to continue his journey for the maiden Australian Open title.
