India, Jan. 21 -- Four-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz lost his temper during the second set of his thrilling quarterfinal match against Novak Djokovic at the 2025 Australian Open. The drama unfolded when he clashed with the umpire over a let call.

This incident occurred while Djokovic was serving at 3-1 in the second set, trying to extend his lead after Alcaraz took the first set 6-4. The umpire quickly called a let, but Alcaraz was fuming about the delay during his serves after the let. He acknowledged it was a let call but argued that it was made after Djokovic had already stopped.

"It was five seconds late. It's ridiculous," Alcaraz said after the chair umpire admitted to the error.

"I know it's a let, but you stopped when he stopped," the 21-year-old shouted three times, prompting the crowd at Rod Laver Arena to boo him.

The commentator was on Alcaraz's side, mentioning that he wasn't pleased because he felt the umpire was swayed by Djokovic stopping at that moment.

Another commentator chimed in, saying, "I doubt Djokovic is too happy about Alcaraz bringing that up."

Alcaraz, who faced an early break in the second set, managed to break back in the fifth game, leveling the score.

In the first set, with the windy conditions in Melbourne, both players exchanged breaks in the initial three games. Djokovic took advantage of Alcaraz's slow start, jumping to a 2-0 lead, but Alcaraz quickly bounced back, nailing a backhand winner after a long rally to break back.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion stepped off the court for a medical timeout at 4-5. Soon after, Alcaraz, still looking sharp, executed a brilliant drop shot to break Djokovic again, clinching the first set 6-4 after a tense 54 minutes.
