Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 in the semifinal of the US Open and advanced to the final. Alcaraz took roughly two hours and a half to hold off Djokovic in a thrilling match between the two.
“Once again in the final here at the US Open, it feels amazing. It means a lot to me. Today, it wasn’t the best level of the tournament for me, but I just keep a good level from the beginning to the last point. I served really well. That today was really important. Trying to play a really physical match, I think I did it. So I mean in general I played really good tennis and I’m just really happy to be able to play my second final at the US Open, ” said Carlos Alcaraz in a post-match interview.
Carlos Alcaraz will face Jannik Sinner on Sunday in the final. Last time they met, Sinner defeated Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 during the Wimbledon 2025 final.
