Order of Play for Day 13 at the Australian Open as the men's singles semi-finals take place.
In Friday's first semi-final, No 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz takes on third seed Alexander Zverev on the Rod Laver Arena from 3.30am (GMT).
The second semi-final sees second seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner face fourth seed Novak Djokovic from 8.30am (GMT), also on the Rod Laver Arena.
Alcaraz is in search of his first Australian Open triumph and a career Grand Slam at the age of 22 - he would make history as the youngest to do so if he achieves it.
Zverev is chasing his first Grand Slam triumph, having lost six previous semi-finals and three finals, while Sinner is looking for his third Grand Slam title in a row in Melbourne and Djokovic a record-extending 11th.
