Novak Djokovic will continue his pursuit for a record-extending 11th Australian Open title on Friday. He and the other three remaining men in the draw will take to Rod Laver Arena for the singles semifinals.

The Serb is pitted against the big-serving Alexander Zverev, who is looking to make his first final at Melbourne Park. They will be first out on the central showcourt.

The second semifinal, meanwhile, will have top seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner take on the young American Ben Shelton. That match will be held during the evening session at Rod Laver Arena.

Opening play for the day will be the pairings of Kimberly Birrell / John Patrick Smith and Olivia Gadecki / John Peers in an all-Aussie mixed doubles final. The two women’s doubles semifinals will be played at Margaret Court Arena. Here's how the action will unfold on Day 13 of the 2025 Australian Open:
