Novak Djokovic may be past his prime, but he is certainly still a threat to win the U.S. Open. After his win over No. 4 Taylor Fritz, the final American left in the tournament, Djokovic was gifted a matchup with No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz.
The pair each have storied histories at Flushing Meadows, boasting five U.S. Open titles between them. Of course, only one of them will reach the championship match this year.
Despite being the higher-ranked player, Alcaraz does not have a great history against Djokovic. Djokovic has a 5-3 record against the 22-year-old Spaniard. Furthermore, Alcaraz has never beaten the Serbian on hard courts like the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center offers. That said, we could be in for a change of fortune in this one, as Alcaraz has breezed to the semifinals. He has not relinquished a set throughout the entire tournament thus far. He’s hungry for his first U.S. Open title since 2022, but a 24-time major winner stands in his way.
Here is how to watch No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz face off against No. 7 seed Novak Djokovic in the US Open men’s semifinals match.
