Djokovic vs Zverev live streams
Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev is the first of two men's semi-finals at the 2025 Australian Open on Friday. The start time will depend on the mixed doubles final that's on before them, but it should be around 2.30pm local time (that's 3.30am GMT in the UK and Thursday at 10.30pm ET / 7.30pm PT in the US). The Australian Open is FREE to watch on 9Now in Australia and you can use a VPN to watch Djokovic vs Zverev live streams from anywhere if you're away.

37-year-olds aren't supposed to make Grand Slam semi-finals. But the 10-time Australian Open champ doesn't play by the usual rules and Djokovic overcame Carlos Alcaraz and injury late on Tuesday night to reach a mind-boggling 50th career slam semi.
Nobody comes close to matching his decima of Norman Brookes Cup wins and it would be a brave person to bet against raising it to the crowd again come Sunday.
Standing in his way is a man a full decade his junior. Currently placed number 2 in the world, there's a very real chance that Zverev becomes the perennial nearly-man of his generation. This is the third time the German has reached the final four in Melbourne and he'll be desperate to vanquish the living legend standing across the court on Friday.
Djokovic vs Zverev live streams are free to watch on 9Now in Australia. Below you'll discover how to watch Australian Open 2025 from anywhere if you're away from home.
