In a striking performance at the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets — 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-2. The Spanish star, who had yet to drop a set throughout the tournament, showcased his dominance, particularly in key moments like the second-set tiebreak where the pair exchanged multiple breaks. Djokovic, who called for a trainer before the third set to address neck muscle strain, struggled to keep up, eventually giving away an early break with a double fault. With this victory, Alcaraz secured a spot in the final for the first time since 2022, setting up a potential showdown against Jannik Sinner or Felix Auger-Aliassime.
