A clash of titans awaits as World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz faces four-time US Open champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the 2025 US Open on Friday.
The Spaniard has been at his very best throughout the tournament, not dropping a set en route the final four. He took one step closer to completing his quest for a sixth grand slam title with a dominant 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Jiri Lehecka in the quarterfinal.
In contrast, Djokovic had a slow start to the tournament, with the Serbian veteran having to tough it out during the early rounds. However, he has gradually built momentum as he looks for his record-breaking 25th grand slam, defeating local favorite Taylor Fritz 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 in the previous round.
This will be the ninth meeting between the two, with Djokovic holding a slight edge with five victories.
