MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Carlos Alcaraz would like nothing better than to take the title away from Novak Djokovic in the final of the Australian Open in two week's time, the Spaniard said on the eve of the start of the year's first Grand Slam.

The 20-year-old said Djokovic's record of 10 wins from 10 Melbourne Park finals made the prospect of landing his first Australian Open title by beating the Serb on Rod Laver Arena all the more appealing.
