Novak Djokovic has booked his place in the US Open semi-finals where he will face Carlos Alcaraz, following a hard-fought victory over Taylor Fritz. The win extends Djokovic's flawless 11-0 record against Fritz and ties him with Jimmy Connors for the most semi-final appearances in tournament history, with 14.
The 38-year-old Djokovic, who has reached the semi-finals at all four major tournaments this season, is on the hunt for his 25th major title. A triumph in New York would make him the oldest player to reach this milestone in a single season.
On the other side, Carlos Alcaraz powered into the semis by dispatching Jiri Lehecka in straight sets. The Spanish sensation, only 22, has yet to drop a set, cementing his formidable form as he aims to surpass his 2023 record of 65 wins and six titles.
