3 h. ago Novak Djokovic sets up Alcaraz showdown after reaching 14th US Open semi

Serb beats Taylor Fritz 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 at Flushing MeadowsCarlos Alcaraz awaits as Djokovic seeks fifth US Open titleForty minutes into his umpteenth big match under the lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Novak Djokovic seemed to be coming undone. After a supreme start, Djokovic’s first serve had suddenly deserted him. His ground strokes began to spew unforced errors. Up against the wall, he faced five break points while serving for the first set.Each time he came close to falling into the abyss, allowing his distinguished opponent back into the match, Djokovic conjured up a spectacular response. That nerveless, clutch play would define his performance as Djokovic held off a spirited late comeback from a battling Taylor Fritz, who had been the superior player for significant parts of the match, and an increasingly unruly New York crowd to reach the semi-finals of the US Open with a 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 win.

Up a game point in his opening service game, the Spaniard skipped around the ball from far behind the baseline in his backhand corner and attempted the riskiest shot possible, unleashing a remarkable forehand winner.This would not be the last time that the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd collectively gasped at Alcaraz’s greatness as he continued to radiate confidence and calm in New York, moving effortlessly into the semi‑finals with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 win against Jiri Lehecka.

American into last four after 6-3, 6-3 win over world No 62Pegula to face either Sabalenka or VondrousovaJessica Pegula continues to redraw the limits of her career in New York. The 31-year-old American swept into the last four of the US Open on Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-3 dismissal of Barbora Krejcikova, becoming the first woman to reach back-to-back semi-finals here without dropping a set since Serena Williams strung together four straight runs between 2011 and 2014.It was a performance of cool authority, built less on fireworks than on persistence and precision. Pegula needed only 86 minutes to subdue her opponent, whose serve collapsed under pressure with seven double faults and a first-serve percentage barely above 40%. Where Krejcikova unravelled, Pegula stayed the course, drawing energy from a nearly full Arthur Ashe Stadium that sensed they were watching a home contender gather momentum. Continue reading...
