Dylan Alcott will be playing for the men's singles quad wheelchair title in what is his last appearance at the Australian Open.
He is also within reach of winning an eighth-straight Australian Open title.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the match.
When is Dylan Alcott playing next?
Dylan Alcott will play his final at approximately 4:00pm on Thursday January 27, following Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis' men's doubles semi-final.
The match will take place at Rod Laver Arena, with the new 65% stadium capacity rules meaning plenty of home fans will be in attendance to cheer on the 2022 Australian of the Year.
Alcott is facing world No. 2 Sam Schroder in a battle for the top prize, in what is predicted to be a close affair.
The Dutchman was the last player to beat him in singles, back in the 2020 US Open semi-final.
The gold medal match between the pair in Tokyo last year went the Australian's way, however.

His next match against old rival Andy Lapthorne was more straightforward, winning 6-3 6-0.
While the pair have had several close battles over the years, Alcott broke his opponent's serve early and was able to dominate.
He only dropped 16 points in the second set which he claimed 6-0.
Speaking after the match, he acknowledged what an extraordinary storyline it would be to finish his career with another Australian Open title.
"It would be unbelievable, but it wouldn’t be everything, right?" Alcott said.
"I will live if I don’t win on Thursday ... I’ve got the best life in the world, regardless of whether I win on Thursday.
"And I’m just going to go out there and enjoy every little second of it because I’ll never get that opportunity again.
"And I would love to win as well ... so, I’m really going to try and do that, but, you know, second last time, I can say thank you."
