Rafael Nadal guided Spain to a 2-1 comeback victory over Argentina while Britain advanced past Germany thanks to Kyle Edmund’s win over Philipp Kohlschreiber.
21st-seeded Edmund, a semifinalist at the Australian Open in January, carries the nation's hopes as the only British player remaining in either singles draw.
Djokovic lost in the third round in Monte Carlo and in the second round in both Miami and Indian Wells. The 12th-ranked Serb also failed to advance past the last 16 at the Australian Open.
The 23-year old Brit checked all those boxes on Rod Laver Arena, setting himself up for a match against either top-ranked Rafael Nadal or No. 6 Marin Cilic for a spot in the final of the season's first Grand Slam.
The Johannesburg-born Edmund is the first British man other than Murray to reach the quarterfinals in Melbourne since John Lloyd was beaten in the quarters in 1985.
